At a time when poetry risks becoming either too obscure or too personal, Maria Teresa Coppola manages to strike a balance between intimacy and universality, between form and content, between pain and beauty.
Her poems do not seek to console, but to acknowledge pain, love, loneliness and wonder. In that moment of revelation, they offer the reader a precious gift: the feeling of not being alone (from the foreword by Ivano Mugnaini).
