Poems selected and translated by Marilyne Bertoncini Afterword by Raphael Monticelli "Reading and rereading Luca Ariano, you are amazed and moved. An unexpected emotion: the one that suddenly arises from the simple unfolding of days, from a banal situation experienced a thousand times, from a landscape you thought you knew, from a memory nestled in a hollow of memory, seeing, living and finally reliving for the first time what you thought you had already read, already seen, already lived." Raphaël Monticelli (extract from the afterword) Publication date: February 1, 2025 Order Press release
