On the occasion of Poetry Month, the poet came to visit the «Corriere della Sera» where she spoke about poetry slam, performative poetry, her research on the «forgotten» authors of our literature and the meaning of poetry. For the readers of the «Corriere» you also read three poems: Alda Merini (verses from The Holy Land); Jolanda Insana, verses from Sciarra amara; and one of his unpublished poems: Derogation for a fine (2020-24).
