About This Book

The collection gathers lyrical sequences and sonnets in a confessional voice that probes modern female identity, desire, and social performance. One extended autobiographical sequence composed of many thirteen-line terzine reads like a novel without plot, tracing appetite, flirtation, indifference, and the exhilaration of urban fashion and nightlife; other poems, including more compact sonnets, record earlier romantic suffering and youthful passions. The speaker juxtaposes classical female archetypes with a contemporary Parisian model to explore ambivalence toward love, liberty, and reputation, using vivid sensory detail, psychological introspection, and recurring images of gaze, costume, jealousy, and theatricalized seduction.

lettere intime

Giungono con un volto tormentato

dalla fatica rude del vïaggio

con segni, impronte, tracce in ogni lato.

Ma dalla busta immune esce il messaggio

e colei che lo attende a sorso a sorso

lo gusta, come un dolce beveraggio.

Qualche parola, a un tratto, il cuor le ha morso.

— Ah! scherzi. — Fra le righe un riso fine

guizza, quasi fra pause d'un discorso.

Balenan lampi nelle ciglia chine

della lettrice, e quando un mal represso

desìo irrompe in parole ebbre alla fine,

ella ne freme come d'un amplesso.
