"Instinct elsewhere" is the last collection of poems by Michela Zanarella, published by Ladolfi publisher (2019). The work contains about 80 compositions, all well structured and never excessively long.
The verses are clean and essential, recalling the best stylistic expression of the second Italian "900, but the themes dealt with are absolutely fresh and contemporary. Reading the book clearly emerges the introspective commitment of the Poetess who, starting from only apparently subjective research, comes to understand and explain the Objectivity of Human nature in all its thousands of "facets".
"The night in his imperfect moon
dismantles the silence
to feel less distant from me.
Now the eyes speak
that make more noise than the wind.
Light in the dark
she finds herself more alive than the sun
like fireflies on hay. "
A collection full of love, a pure and true Love that transports the Reader into a parallel dimension, where reason gives way to Instinct and where poetry becomes an authentic force able to indicate the path to follow.
"Instinct elsewhere", how to say the heart hic et nunc.
A pleasant journey into the essence of Being and into the folds of the "Cosmos".
Pages that contain an ancestral force capable (as Dacia Maraini writes in his preface) of "digging and highlighting the deepest and most hidden roots of the feelings that animate us, love above all".
"It's like being chased by the sun
looking for shadows on the grass
this is our habit of silence.
It presses like light
and it is much more than a dialogue with the eyes
when love
purifies things.
To recognize him I look for life
in a sign of the cross
and where the horizon has color
of a return. "
