La mia poetessa preferita Alda Merini. I was born on the twenty-first in spring  but I didn't know that being born crazy,  opening the clods  could cause a storm. So light Proserpina  sees it raining on the herbs,  on the big gentle wheats  and she always cries in the evening. Maybe it's her prayer. Sono nata il ventuno a primavera ma non sapevo che nascere folle, aprire le zolle potesse scatenar tempesta. Così Proserpina lieve vede piovere sulle erbe, sui grossi frumenti gentili e piange sempre la sera. Forse è la sua preghiera. (Alda Merini, Vuoto d'amore, Einaudi 1991)   Unquestionably Alda Merini and Ezra Pound are my favorite poets.  Alda Merini has always fascinated me. In her I have always seen the female alter ego, and recognized the flair, genius and transgressiveness, of two other writers that I adore, as original as they are transgressive: Henry Miller and Charles Baudelaire.    Senza dubbio Alda Merini ed Ezra Pound sono i mi...

{Letture Facoltative} "As a bit old-fashioned, I believe that reading is the most beautiful pastime ever devised by humanity. Homo ludens dances, sings, produces gestures full of meaning, assumes poses, dresses, feasts and celebrates elaborate I do not want to underestimate the importance of such pastimes - without it, human life would flow with an unimaginable monotony and perhaps go into disarray. However, these are group actions on which hovers, more or less perceptible, that certain smell of military training. collective. With a book in hand, Homo ludens is free. At least as far as he is allowed to be. He sets the rules of the game, obeying only his own curiosity. He is allowed to read both intelligent books, come on which to learn something, both silly books, because even from those it is possible to obtain information. or to have a giggle where it is not expected, or to linger unexpectedly on words that he will then remember for a lifetime. Finally, he is free - no other pas...

{La poesia "Se  — "} If you can fill the unforgiving minute With sixty seconds' worth of distance run; Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it, And—which is more—you'll be a Man, my son! {Se saprai riempire ogni inesorabile minuto Dando valore ad ognuno dei sessanta secondi; Tua sarà la Terra e tutto ciò che è in essa, E — quel che più conta — sarai un Uomo, figlio mio!}   "If—" is a poem by English Nobel laureate Rudyard Kipling (1865–1936), written circa 1895. The poem is written in the form of paternal advice to the poet's son, John who died at the front during World War I, in 1915. The poem contains a series of precepts and instructions on how to behave or, better, explains that the one who manages to achieve these behaviors is truly worthy of being called a Man.   Curiosity: "If —" was translated and published in Italian language by Antonio Gramsci, with the title "Breviary for the laity", in the issue of "Avanti!...

{Le mie letture preferite} Hashtag keywords: #readings #contamination #literature #shortStory #novel #scienceFiction #thriller #poetry #essay #economics #society #technology #humor  #TateoBlog #TILLL Similar to the basic principle of my interdisciplinary Lifelong Learning project, my tastes in terms of reading are also affected by my preference for the contamination of genres: the mosaic of reading genres that I prefer are very heterogeneous and, even if they do not seem to have nothing in common, indeed they seem to be rather at odds with each other, there is a logical thread that connects them. Or at least I can find one. More than a strategy, mine was a necessity, born already during the course of university studies. Unfortunately, when you dedicate yourself to disciplines, or to activities, purely of a technical nature, you risk losing contact with the human and cultural aspects of our civilization; we become hyper-rational, which in general should not be a defect for...

If he (the teacher) is really wise he does not offer you to enter the house of his wisdom, but rather leads you to the threshold of your own mind." (Khalil Gibran, The prophet - about the teaching)  "Nessuno può rivelarvi alcunché se non ciò che già giace semi-addormentato nell'albeggiare della vostra conoscenza. S'egli (l'insegnante) è davvero saggio non vi offre di entrare nella casa della sua saggezza, ma vi conduce piuttosto alla soglia della vostra stessa mente."  (Khalil Gibran, Il profeta - sull'insegnamento)    18 December 2019.

Non leggiamo e scriviamo poesie perché è carino: noi leggiamo e scriviamo poesie perché siamo membri della razza umana, e la razza umana è piena di passione. Medicina, legge, economia, ingegneria sono nobili professioni, necessarie al nostro sostentamento, ma la poesia, la bellezza, il romanticismo, l'amore, sono queste le cose che ci tengono in vita."
