from Savona, journalist, professor of humanities and author of several publications, Gianfranco Barcella offers readers his second collection of poems entitled emblematic: "Quaderno di bordo".
After "In riva al mare", once again the poems of Barcella are guided by a constant compass: the Beauty as refined grace of life, at the same time tender and aggressive, combined with a tragic tension, sometimes tinged by painful irony.
And it is the knowledge of pain, the central role in the poetry of Barcella, always looking for a safe haven without abandoning sentimental or consoling escapes. "Quaderno di bordo", with a preface by Aldo Maria Pero is published by Giuliano Ladolfi Editore.
