* 17 Special Guest: Mutual Rebirths

143 commenti

I have been asked to translate into English my book of poems in Italian “Mutual Rebirths” by painters and photographers not Italian who co-wrote the book, and also for some potential requests to English readers . I relived my book in English: a new creation. I have recited and I have rewritten my poems. At the same time I re-read some texts of the British and US poetesses of past centuries. After more than seven different drafts, I have proposed the reading of the text in a selected audience and then I have entrusted the text to the translator Diego Luci.

Rebirths occur sometimes spontaneausly, due to events which require radical changes, and they can be wonderful for what life can offer more, or they can cause desperation for unespected occurences contingencies that take away everything, except those dark visions the future.

@ Samanta Lai: “Tai Chi”

Fortune and engagement allow you the luxury of being reborn as adults, keeping the memories of your past. In this case, it is also necessary that the memories concerning the others and stored in ourselves have to be really in order to avoid a mere reproduction of what we were. The real rebirth needs the others and the support of those we had an intimate relathionship with. If we pursue a revival with not causing pain to anybody, we will be able to express feelings and deep desires: doing so, we will become truly adult, wiser and sincere.

This collection of 50 poems accompanied by pictures, some of them in color, wants the readers to think over the world, the human relationships and the wonders that every person carries within itself.

Saturday, May 24, 2014 
 in Rome – “Crypt of Saint Lucia of the Banner” in Via dei Banchi Vecchi 12, it was held the presentation of the second edition of the book “Words of Bread” project anthology of short stories about food, promoted by the writers “Diana Sganappa” and “Emma Saponaro”. The participants, including myself, have presented a single story, published or unpublished, having the union as a fundamental principle of this project, because the ingredients are blended in the kitchen, and the pleasure is right there: When in one gulp all the flavors are combined, as in the words, a universe in which everyone can join. In one word: sharing. And the proceeds of the sales will be donated to the “Association of Family and Supporters Suffering psychic Tuscia” (A.fe.SO.psi.T), because the Words of bread are not “empty words” 
 but a book for those who have no voice.

And … the project continues …

And once again the meeting of everyone with whom he had spoken only via computer, as well as being poignant and uplifting, offered the opportunity to expose for a few moments some parts of themselves for a further extension on different approaches and styles of writing.

And as for last year’s edition has appeared to enjoy the wonder of everyone: all together in offering a choral writing.

* 15 Special Guest: Everything under control: the loneliness

10 commenti

Hello,

here I am. From my ebook “Everything is under control. A body in the mirror, “I transcribe a passage dealing with the loneliness and isolation. They are unavoidable and common traits of our lives. Accompany us and sometimes we argue with them, although in some cases they are looking for as safe nest or as an illusion of eternal regularity. Have you dealt with loneliness or forced isolation? It has happened in your life? Or even loneliness is a path that leads to the final silence without memory?

“[…] And in addition, what the heck, adolescence is over. No: The mirror says you’re still young, but there is an awareness that we must distinguish between isolation and loneliness. Loneliness is not a bad thing. There is always a part that is not going to appear to others; or not? Yet everyone is convinced. Solitude helps make distant a part of himself with respect to the making, the appearance of things. It is the illusion of a help to reflect with him. I learn new words: If I become hypertrophic, then it is sick. It is the little that I want to see everything: the madness and pain. The ego is inconsistent for the claims and it is incomplete, because he is in the world. Solitude helps prepare resources to survive among the hidden nature and the imagined world. World and nature evoke different tones for everyone: an amazing concert by everyone and for everyone.

Another question is how the isolation status and needs, knowing that social relations feed malaise and discomfort within. Loneliness also accepts the company. The insulation is solved with good will. If the disease is persistent, uneducated and immoral because it does not ask permission, causes each to be isolated: shame, impotence and fatigue. […] ”

Hello,

here I am. For a long time we did not feel dear friends. It was a period of intense reading, exchange of views and experiences with everyone, including readers, and work in progress. One among them is finished and it is, unlike poetry, my first novel presented as a autonomous, and it is not like the others shorter along with miscellaneous other authors. With “Everything is under control. A body in the mirror, “I present a theme overexposed in public opinion as superficial analysis. This argument captures the attention and intrigues many, perhaps for the feature to appear as a result of the remote psychic processes that are fundamental and pervasive in every event of the day. It is, accordingly, the paradox that this issue costuisce strictly a personal matter and present. In public opinion appears to be a double censorship that says the disease as a cause, rather than constitute the symptom and the signal from sinking into the abyss.

What happens when culture and society by determining the split between mind and body, they are seen with the eye of their daughter (technique)? What happens when the will that is intended to pursue manageable goals and reducible in terms of effectiveness, turns his arms to herself? And yet when the eye pompous and deluded of omnipotence, he sees the abandonment and failure always already certified? An unexpected occurrence that is precisely the separate and believed to be weaker, react and expose the surplus of what we in irriducible existence of each.

Dear friends, I must point out that I myself attend an appointment:

We writers reagaleremo our books. The writers meet readers in the square, to give their books. This is an important gesture: it is an awareness that the culture is disseminated and never oppressed.
At Christmas, “You yourself A Book.” This book gives it its author directly. At 16.00, in Piazza del Popolo (Rome), December 22 will be giving away our books to passersby.

Img-Jpg

All writers will go to “Piazza del Popolo” (including myself) at 15:50. Everyone will wear a cap or a scarf or a scarf or bandana red. And each one will offer 10 or 20 books WRITTEN BY THEIR themselves, lined with white paper written on it (by hand, with the PC, with a marker) ONLY the book’s title and author’s name. Within the books there will be a bookmark or postcard or business card with signature or dedication.
At 16.00 we will distribute the books to passers-by, asking them to give them away after reading them and we will ask them to comment on our sites / blogs / pages.

December 4, 2013

From December 5 to 8 will be held in Rome at the Palazzo dei Congressi (located in Piazzale Kennedy, 1), the twelfth edition of “More books, more free,” national fair of small and medium publishers.
As every year, the news will be lots and lots of visitors will certainly be happy about. However, during this year, unlike the previous ones, there will be a novelty that will surely capture the attention of everyone.

In fact, this year, for the free time in Italy, will be present (STAND A 24 – Fuis) the association NBA – No Brand Art, which includes 23 novelists, poets, essayists, editors, translators and promoters, who have decided to promote art focused on the content and autonomy through self-publishing and self-promotion.

The intent is to meet readers and bring their experience of self-publishing and, for those with public publishing house, self-promotion in a professional context.

But what is self-publishing?

The self-publishing allows you to access the publication by managing all the phases with the help of professionals and integrate with their business promotion that offered from publishing traditional. Added to this is the opportunity to access, through translation, markets potentially boundless thanks to online sales channels.

A new short circuit, which promises interesting implications and prospects, especially for emerging authors.

Not only that, through the self-publishing and self-promotion, authors can experiment with new ways of publishing, new genres and publishing formats (interactive books, e-books, etc..), So as to be able to respond more and more to the growing needs of the reader.

Readers in search of new talent will be discovered in the works of the authors independent of quality, a rich supply of original books, readily available and various genres.

An event not to be missed, during the days of the fair, will undoubtedly be the conference “The independent authors, self-publishing and the new frontiers of publishing,” where it comes to this and other issues of self-publishing and self-promotion, which will be held Saturday, December 7 at stand A24 at 16 in collaboration with Fuis.

They have in common, in addition to the skill of Lino, the property of being collected varied, combining different types of art, poetry, photography, painting. They are selfpublished. It is commendable the graphics capability of Lino, who personally supervised the editing and the alternation of poetry and visual art. The fact anthologies appear hymns art and cooperation between artists, the pure, made a careful study and closer ties, which make these vital and rich texts. Note on the price. With 12 € you can buy two books of art, photography, poetry. Books varied, well-set graphically.

You’ll wonder if you are the poems that inspired the works or the reverse, but you will not find a clear answer: Lino dragged and you are done drag, he has inspired and was inspired by involving artists from different parts of Europe.

I hope in the assembly of the interview he had given no idea of what you’ll find in anthologies, adjusting sounds, voice and images into a single video. For sure, you will find valuable encouragement in what Lino says, because he only writes poetry, studying the savoring, it follows the history, origins.

And once again appeared to enjoy the wonder of everyone: writers and newbies. All together they offered a choral work. And this was much more than the sum of the parts.

And for this purpose, I propose for the event one of the three poems that I have published in the book: 

Heartbeat of Love – Lino Milita

I played
and I did not think
to rejoice, involving
the lazy heart of wings,
landing
into the abyss of the gift
Moving in love,
with emotions
emerging, offsetting
embrace the vague,
recognizing
Now that I already loved,
and not I wandered.

* 8 Special Guest: Outposts of the real

It is difficult to recognize in the mirror, because it does not only appear in the shapes and contours of the cilia beats and lights. The rites of awakening according to the deities of the time marked in sexagesimal measures in the trill and in scanning the home screens, inform a bike-run linear and unidirectional. The physiological processes of awakening receive confirmation in a glass that reflects light forms, which have the faith to be identified in a body.

Here and now.

And it takes <ego> consistency in accordance with the identity cards and access keys digital and mechanical, so that you log into wedges world who wake up with us. The preparation of food and beverages and rituals of cleansing and dressing, in perpetual mutation, instill a feeling of tranquility and automaticity in the execution. The complacency of acting cyclic built every day, the safe house of a space and a time that promises consistency and uniqueness.

Alfredo Araujo Santoyo – Picture taken HERE

Yet we think and act with images that go beyond the movements and purposes of the day. We jump and play every second between visions of the future and continuous shooting of the plots of the past.

We establish the outside world which frames us in positions to offer the ‘other’, looking for meanings that fantasize about the future.

Being clothes in front of the mirror, we project outposts of what we would like and we could be on the bumps fantasies, and on the plains of the imagination. And all of this is real, more real, because it emerges in a way that influences and directs our action.

Outposts of Me – Lino Milita

The views eradicated from trusts rooted
in folded canvases from minutes fluctuated,
diverge multitudes underground
in weeds that are shaken by the slender traces lost.

From the dreams that never took place, the demands suffered
infuse the elsewhere and several other past,
inviting the guests wanted to inverate
hopes, undertows wave expired.

The original and the renewed story perceives
a curious and lively composition,
where every possible event occurs.

The substrates rational raise the similarities
infused and hosted by endless dreams
that reinvent the necessary spells.
