The texts published here include poems never before published either in Italy or abroad.
Where is new Italian poetry going? What is happening among poets born in the 1970s? We can find one possible answer to these questions in Flavio Santi, the new Italian poet of the quarter. His ironic, dry and irreverent poetry, which still maintains fruitful and profound relationships with a certain very personal tradition, is one of the most promising in the variegated panorama of contemporary Italian poetry.
Santi is a poet who has often turned to Friuliano dialect (the same as Pasolini’s), an extremely personal dialect used for “its eminently viral, if not actually tumoral significance.” Flavio Santi works on the Italian language with a great sense of responsibility and non-conformism. He is a poet to read and get to know. The texts published here include poems never before published either in Italy or abroad.
