An anthology of the Italian language production of Prisca Agustoni, poet Swiss Canton of Ticino (but by many other language skills, as seen from the biographical notes). A production of which is difficult to give an idea carried out with the few texts here extracts but essentially centered on the one hand on the Status of Women, the personal but also the historical (as in the collection of hay Sisters of 2002 in which the Agustoni tells life and silences Italian girls at the beginning of the last century started from the Ticino to go for the weavers in the German convents of nuns over the St. Gotthard, where there was a substantial ban on speaking the native language).

Across the cornerstone, the leitmotif is the plural dimension of the border, or the limit of the horizon as a frontier, confinement, language barrier, social, moral, such as door, even intimate, internal, mental, to cross, territory of meeting and reciprocity, such as delivery to the Other and space in which a transformation can take place, an influence, such as - add - takes place between observer and observed in the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.
