2011 Programme
Evento n.20
Patrizia Cavalli
Poetry knows everything first
As the brain has two parts, this event is divided in two acts, for discussing poetry and reciting poetry are two different things that cannot be mixed. The tones of the voice and the mental attitudes are so different that trying to mix them risks weakening both of them. So one act, and one voice, to discuss Cavalli’s work as a poet, and another to recite a selection of her poems, arranged according to a principle of inherent and sometimes mysterious connection—the same connection that governs the generation of thoughts. By virtue of language, the poems will find a sort of unity beyond chronology and common discourse.
