Dixie Kiefer’s reputation for durability began at the U.S. Naval Academy, where he broke an ankle and shattered a kneecap while playing football. After anti-submarine duty in World War I, he became a pioneer of naval aviation and had an elbow shattered by a plane that buzzed him as a joke. Kiefer’s first World War II assignment was executive officer of the carrier Yorktown. He earned the Distinguished Service Medal at the Coral Sea and the Navy Cross at Midway, where—as his ship was sinkin...

I versi di Colacrai traggono linfa dalla dimensione della storia di un genere umano che sembra aver smarrito le sue insegne e crocifigge gli angeli cui è toccata la stimmata della non conformità alla massa. […] È una poesia in cui si può persino avvertire l’odore della pelle (ma anche del sole della neve del sangue) così come il tanfo delle prigioni in cui si consumano agonie silenziose. Il verso a tratti si dilata facendosi narrazione; rifugge la cantabilità ma ha una sua musica tutta int...
