The Frabotta’s Testimonial Poetry
Keywords:
Frabotta, Testimonial Poetry, Contemporary Italian Poetry.
Abstract
The purpose of this paper is to analyze three new poems by Biancamaria Frabotta as testimonial poetry. The triptyque (a preview of Frabotta’s next book, La materia prima) is probably the starting point of a fourth stage in the poet’s career. In these poems senescence confronts adolescence, the subject of Frabotta’s first book, Il rumore bianco (1982), while the poet as witness confronts the present («a mute and chatty time»). The result is the interplay between past and present, between intellect and experience that becomes a meditation about poetry’s role in our age.Downloads
