Poetry requires vocation and enlightenment, of course, but above all time, dedication and labor limae. And this is what happens with A perdersi, Lorenzo Rapisarda's splendid and touching debut collection: a journey completed after a long gestation that focuses on the themes of great poetry: love, pain, the nostalgia for that lost Eden that briefly reverberates in our daily lives.
