die krankheit wunder / le beatitudini della malattia

Verses of words and silence that explore the secrets of everyday life and illness. The poems in this collection revolve around the theme of dementia. It transforms a person into someone else and complicates the possibility of communication, making it almost impossible. Thus, the dialogue with Uma, which means mother in Ladin, becomes a calling of another, multiplied you, from whom no response comes. It is a painful journey, a form of mysticism that is not lacking in wonders; the encounter, the care becomes a path of understanding. A translation group from Versatorium has rendered the poems in a congenial manner.
