Roberto Mosi inextricably links the image on the reverse, the visible reality in its switched to the next poetic transmutation, as if he were touched by an urgent need to transform in his mind every newspaper and existential path, both of which his society around him .
And doing so is in his poetry the modern homo viator involved in their existential wanderings inside the changing paths of pain, of happiness, of dreams, of disenchantment within those that the poet defines non-places "and the enchantment of those instead the "myth" that the sheer beauty and access to divinity.
It then creates both with his mobile camera (he is also a skilled photographer) who by his poetic word suggestive itineraries which are the expression of the sufferings and aspirations of contemporary society views in the many nuances of his behavioral dynamics.
I am personally in tune with him in thinking that poetry, in his dream creative path, should fulfill a vital need her, which is to be the most genuine and immediate expression of reality, descending into everyday life.
Mosi can do this need real art, poetry of facts and human attitudes everyday, minute hand of the landscape, dreamy reportage and this book, which includes poems written from 2009 to 2016 and taken from his various publications is a retrospective emotions and memories where you can admire his long human journey.
Path touched the feelings and the feelings of vast territories crossed, tainted by the suffering for the various situations of difficulty, pain, denial of rights and human dignity and for galvanized against the aspects of the beauty of man and nature, fascinated by the places and from situations related to the mythical symbol.
This is a book which combines external dynamics such as travel, relationships, contamination of a territorial cohabitation and reflections, internalizations, memories, dreams and the unconscious motions, ie a mix that inevitably involves the reader as it revives the experiences and emotions linked to a deal with the daily reality in the most spontaneous and natural.
Actually cultured for example in so-called "Non-places" or in difficult situations, where is the open all human frailty, in the absence of its own identity and dignity, like in hospitals or degradation of the suburbs, or in those where ' man faces his wanderer mission desired or imposed by life during trips inside the airport terminals or stations and where crowds of a multiethnic society in movement meet and mingle.
"Non-places" where they accumulate and add up destinies of masses of men in search of their own dignity and identity.
Here it is that the book then opens with the collection "non-places" followed by that of "the myth Places" as against altar and where the author changes register and exposes the other side of which make up the human story being that of a suction the achievement of beauty and the divine in the existential journey, with reference to the myth, therefore, through places and characters that personify.
We are faced with a slice of life and their own and others' experiences of the poet clarified by the poetry of Roberto who wisely touching the keys of a poetic reading of the life in the transhumance in various places of the heart and the soul searching at the end of a spiritual quest.
And so he resorts to classical mythology as the key to understanding modern society in which the places of the myth inspired by Diana, Jason, Ulysses, Sappho, Hermes, Phoebus, Zeus along the land, the people who saw them protagonists in the story.
Closed this parenthesis the poet's frantic wandering is not subsiding, indeed intensifies in the "Travel" collection which runs through lands, places, countries, islands and seas as enchanted by the beauty, to go to the most distant places of the Mediterranean and Africa , in deserts and in the camps, but also in the far North.
Then it's up to "Florentia" passionate collection towards his city that has been revisited with the charms of the poet's eyes.
Real watercolors poems where successively parade Holy Cross, Holy Spirit, the riversides, the Carmine, the Arno, the Murate and many other landscapes.
But still he turns the page, following the chronological order of its various publications, and changes to the time of his "Kites"; a warm and intimate dip in its private, in their emotional and romantic relationships, in a world where the dream stamp is accentuated even then divert to the wanderings in the land of migration with "Migrate" bringing the crudest aspect of the illegal hiring harvesting oranges and tomatoes, inhuman and ferry landing places along the sidewalks of the city, to continue toward her worlds of "Peace, war" evoked by symbols and episodes with human intensity and poetic.
"Invasion of starlings" marks, as he wrote the preface of the book Ladolfi, a meditative break and is perhaps the most surreal section and internalized, where very interesting is the interview between the author and the crow of Hell Valley.
"Flora", "Baratti" and "Populonia" What follows are three collections are characterized by a taste for art and beauty of the area; air opera, reading, marked by female presence Tosca, Fiorenza, Flora, and surrounded by landscapes sources, springs, seasons that enhance the beauty of the territories.
The volume concludes in its third part the last section devoted to Proust and intends to witness the author's own experience in the encounter with the word and the story as we know Proustian linked to the famous "Search of Lost Time"; that trip in the memory and in the time that runs between the vices and virtues that so fascinated the culture of International 900, making Proust's one of the greatest explorers of the human soul.
So the wanderer and engaging poetry Mosi, characterized by a remarkable variety of emotional nuances and the tone often stops social commentary, is configured in a pleasant and musical territory, full of colors and scents, where it dominates the photographic and pictorial cut and where the verse is wisely set in the metric measure that knows expand or shrink depending on the received emotions.
Read this book, as well as give us the opportunity to fully understand the author's poetic over time is like going on a journey of infinite stages where wonder, lost, angry, excited, to be prey to the many emotions of the heart and soul who have crossed our poet in his long human and spiritual quest for existential event.
