Dear Stephen,
where to start? Lately, I have always from the apology: I apologize for the long silence following the arrival of your book, arrival of which I have not thanked you, and I do now.
I'm sorry because this fall they are pressured by deadlines and a number of outstanding commitments, in addition to the usual weekly routine Rome-Brussels-Liège ... and the books that arrive are piling up, and sometimes not enough s'entusiasmo, especially if the reading work concerns a ponderous and powerful as yours, and not the plaquette short verses.
You and I know very well how a letter is inadequate and unsatisfactory in comparison with the value ratio and, yes, the value of your critical work. Meanwhile, I'll give you my most dear and believe congratulations: You have drawn a field whose latitudes may cause envy in those who do not! It 's the kind of critical recognition, for the amplitude spectrum or prospects, that you take, which I suck so much! Without shelter is a beautiful book. This is from the title. Dry, clear, essential, honest, sharp and refined.
Are you a good critic, I had read here and there, in magazines or on operations anywhere in the apparitions, and I felt the strength and rigor. But read 'homeless', not only confirms some feelings, but I am surprised, very surprised you can in your readings are at once rigorous, faithful, yet extremely unpredictable. Can you ask the reader with references so beautiful, and with a complexity of reading, philosophical background, that continuous bonding between literature and refined ontology .... For example: how to write about the group Anterem. E ', with ease. I find that much right (once you would have said: noble) that you've dedicated a study so complex Anterem group: we both know how much work there is, and how much effort in drawing up a serious magazine, that makes sense, chasing a primary sense, and we know that many efforts are often accompanied by the silence surrounding.
The arguments with which to address the theoretical issues in the first section, but also in the second correlative on the 'canon' are not only convincing and I shared very reasonable. You have the ability to consciously and with full autonomy commensurate with the enormous issues, and all the aporia on writing.
Then, the section of reading, even if you want, the most delicious, and best able to meet a lot of curiosity about authors and their writings, said that often, the authors surveyed are never casual, and respond to specific choices of taste, and choices of the field.
E 'obvious, and, believe me, it is not to say that' homeless' is a work destined to become a reference point, a paradigm of confrontation and, for anyone with intellectual honesty to take care of contemporary poetry, and for anyone who has it in high regard.
Dear Stephen, I wanted, for now, to provide all my support, sharing, empathy. Will, è una promessa, pure un mio intervento scritto, che, va da sè, non potrà arrestarsi al grado della semplice secensione.
un caro, sodale saluto, tuo Manuel
