click POETRY to read samples of my literary work
Since Nature introduced the larynx on this planet poetry entered the universe. Man started first to do poetry and then to speak following a specific logic that has then become language. So, in fact, poetry is even older than languages. The written word allowed the transmission of poetry through the generations without the necessary synchronic presence of Poets and readers. With the introduction of printing at the beginning of the second millennium in China with Bi Sheng and then in Germany with Gutenberg, poetry was able to multiply its transmission channels. Now it is believed that poetry is dead because no one buys poetry books anymore.
But the millions of poets know that this is just an illusion. The 'poem' has now been transformed, it has gone beyond the larynx, beyond language and writing. The poetry of the third millennium has become multi-sensory and poets instead of pinching the lira enter virtual constructs, enter video games consoles, cinemas, videos. Poetry performs from the theatre stages, mixes with stand up comedy, live art, fine art and photography. The reason why poetry books are not sold is because poetry is no longer in books. However, text is still important. Very often text is the starting point of poetry.
