The sign of insecurity, almost testamentary evidence, is the figure of the seventeen texts Italian Andrea (Barcellona Pozzo di Gotto, 1980) has collected for his latest publication: Only the man, Ladolfi Publisher (NO), 2016.
Insecurity that manifests itself in a restless style, alternating, even within the same compositions, broken rhythms and long breaths as if to create a perpetual apprehension, an uneasiness with a story, that this, in its perceived lack of prospects: "I'm in the middle of life / half now behind him / mid maybe there will not be" (p. 15).
Precariousness, it was said, not only social but more tragically existential identity is not simply split but gasping: "I'm already dead / not more decadent" (p. 19).
A posthumous poetry, then, that does not vibrate, has, as it should, given the need for every lyrical inspiration, addressing the evidence of the end. If the sense - and the sign - is something perishable, you do not make it possible to give up the track, an action that repeats for "duty" the urgency of being, however ephemeral, as shadow: "The joke to teacher / had taken the allegory / contours she wrote us cancellavamo / she wrote us cancellavamo / she wrote us cancellavamo / how futile life "(p. 20).
Cancellation and lag, no grounds not to the same insecurity that constitutes us. If, in fact, "in your own name stranger find yourself" (p. 22), is the human condition to highlight their alienation, and the title of the collection, not too ironically, is explicit sign.
Reiterating one of distrust of the world background and, above all, towards humans excluded from any action in the world, finally it emerges an accusatory will direct, as you read the last text, the recent generations. Still sweating, in a completely original way, hope for the future. "Spes contra Spem", but excluding the actors of this, fathers and sons, encapsulated hopelessly in the vicious circle of repetition of between futility and convenience.
