I have always thought that a poem does not have 'one' meaning. It can (and has to) have many: one for each and every reader. If it's so, what could be the meaning of the following verses?"/ Your eyes –Ethereal / Like butterfly wings./"Or :"Imagine how / Long was the night / And it broke into a day / Loaded with shadows — ../"Or, again:"/ Where charcoal snow falls and freezes her heart, / With an occasional acid rain that melts her bones./"Following...

"At The Crossing Of Seven Winds" published by Fabrizio Frosini at Smashwords, is an Anthology of Poetry which collects 72 poems from 7 Authors living in 7 different Countries of the World.As Fabrizio Frosini puts it: «When I first proposed my idea for an e-book to my Minnesotan friend Daniel Brick, we decided together to open it to other "voices of poetry" from different parts of our troubled world. Maybe we put it a bit too emphatically, like "voices of poetry conveying the joy of ...

The artist Marcel Duchamp drew, in 1927, a curious door –actually it became a door to Duchamp's studio at 11 rue Larrey in Paris– : a double door sharing one hinge, that would admit a person to one of two thresholds, but only one per admittance, so when it swings on its hinge and opens into one space, it closes the entrance to the other.Note the simplicity of his image but the complexity of his concept. The concept involved is the "Threshold Experience", and the image is the 'double...

This latest collection of poems, our third, can be considered a grace note attached to the full melody to the first two.The title, "Scattering Dreams and Tales," was written to reflect the other two publications. According to my co-editor, Fabrizio Frosini, "Dreams & Tales" recalls 'Nine Tales of Creation'. "Scattering" evokes 'At the Crossing of Seven Winds".In this Anthology, you will find poems by 13 poets.According to the Random House Dictionary, a POET is a person...

This is the second Anthology of Poetry, after "At The Crossing Of Seven Winds", published with the participation of poets from different parts of the world. In his Introduction to this book, my Minnesotan friend Daniel Brick highlights what he calls "four gems of poetry".The first gem is: The poetry is relevant and accessible at every stage of our lives.The second gem is really a question: How do I know I am a poet? This is a vexed question, and can cause prospective poets co...

As we friends and poets were celebrating via email our third publication of poems [the Anthology of Poetry "Scattering Dreams & Tales"], our senior editor, Fabrizio Frosini of Florence, Italy, suggested a wonderful gambit: each of us would give him one of our poems which he would translate into Italian, and we would have a book in another language.Why are we doing this? To celebrate speech, to extol language, to emphasize the wonder and beauty of language as well as its utility. As ...

This collection of poems is a bilingual edition, English–Italian –as "We Are The Words - Siamo Parole" and "How To Write Poetry - Come Scrivere Poesie"– and sums up the succession of books bringing us, poets of the world, onto common ground.The title of this collection presents us with two highly connotative words. Let us first consider the possibilities inherent in the word "WHISPER". What is experienced is of an internal nature, and the essential occasion is more likely intimate t...
