After the volume Primavera with the compositions of the youth phase (1997-2007), Menotti Lerro publishes Estate, the anthological collection of his second season, as a man and as an artist. The poems, composed from 2008 to 2020, trace a deep and complex journey between love and lack of love, between light and shadow. The reader will discover the identity of the excavation tension and vitality of the language game of a poet to the continuous search for the essence of life and the ideal toward construction.

“Very high poetic discourse between tragedy and light. Very rare culmination in our times (and also in the past) ”(Giorgio Bàrberi Squarotti).

"Between desperation and dream, Lerro's poetic voice shows a peculiar expressive force modulated with often surprising images and with a clever rhythmic and / or metric technique" (Alessandro Serpieri).

"Menotti Lerro is one of the most interesting poets on the current Italian national scene" (Roberto Carifi).
