SemicerchioLogoIn the language of sports, 'false start' means an offense committed by an athlete, anticipating that the signal from the umpire, the first part of the other and for that reason liable to immediate disqualification. The False start Guido Mattia Gallerani collects, with subtle irony paratextual, the disenchantment of the defeat, "the urgency / irresistible runner / shoot first in the street," translating it into a programmatic declaration of non-existence: "I am what you want that both / and not for nothing that nobody ever / suspicious of my accent. // [...] Why I do not exist if not chased / a your event. "

 

 Post the threshold of the text, which is presented Prefatto pre-fatio entire compilation and anticipates the narrative and cognitive development "footprint fills your / barefoot and naked I put on, / m'adatto to your new dress." At the liminal condition of the text corresponds to the precariousness of the poetic subject that Gallerani will seek to recover through a journey that winds along the four sections of the collection. False start is a macrotext expertly constructed, in which they act two items: the self-authored, which appears in Prefatto and Fossi, and the ego-character, which moves in non-places 'parenthetical' of life.

Brackets are in fact the section titles and the temporality of the semantics brackets allows the author to investigate the space of the self through a series of potential places (nature) of amorous experiences ("the third gender"), images demitizzate (poetry, literature and life) and through the precariousness of existence. Gallerani implementing such a progressive suspension of the space-time coordinates of the-world-of-life four times. In the first section (Distance to the forest), Gallerani is in the nature of an initial term of comparison, in a context in which, to welcome the poet in a space that resists' "Westernness modern capital," are the animals of the forest (mole , badger, beaver, raccoon, bear) - real positive carriers of otherness that could safeguard the identity of the subject.

And it is only with the poetry that Gallerani fails to adhere to the rhythm of nature and to "move in contradiction 'between' consecutive circles' and 'ripples', born from the encounter between the ioe nature. In (Third gender), the epiphany is rudely interrupted by the "singing away [...] / where my hunger for you / me and you Sbrano." The 'macabre sweetness "of love is not worth the" animals "in the undergrowth, while the women of the town" wander like essences vacuum "and" open agitation of remembrance, "dominated by" fire off "of love. In (Ads from literary magazines), Gallerani takes up the theme dell'occidentalità modern capital, to attack bitterly the academic culture (and not) in Italian and European, reduced "all'acchiappa ghost of the present."

And so it happens in the last section, (Post-1980), where the statute universal art is reduced to that individual ego, victim of human indifference ("All our faces are matched / in a common image: / for you there was no difference of persons "). The awareness of '' Olympic / false start ', which has transformed the voice that tells me the question, "What is your name?" Revives plan of the narrative and the author's poetry Fossi.

In this last act, the disqualification of the ego Gallerani contrasts the "depth / index on the sheet / groove" of the pencil, poetry, the "one shot" that he can implement towards life, in that "trip already interrupted, "that can be described" only "through" ink. "
