G. Lucini: Il ruolo della poesia e del poeta oggi
Di seguito alcune riflessioni intorno al ruolo della poesia nella società contemporanea. La poesia infatti, fin dalle sue origini, ha sempre avuto un ruolo importante, soprattutto nelle civiltà più antiche, sia occidentali che orientali. É stata infatti il primo tramite col sacro nelle cultura babilonese, in quella fenicia, in quella greca, in quella indiana, in ogni grande cultura.Ce que la poésie peut apporter à votre écriture de fiction
La poésie peut améliorer votre choix de mots, rendre votre prose plus concise et encourager une approche plus créative de l’écriture. La poésie permet d’échapper à une écriture trop standardThe importance of poetry - une question philosophique
Poetry (some of my poems)
Out of burlap sacks, out of bearing butter, Out of black bean and wet slate bread, Out of the acids of rage, the candor of tar, Out of creosote, gasoline, drive shafts, wooden dollies, They Lion grow. Out of the gray hills Of industrial barns, out of rain, out of bus ride, West Virginia to Kiss My Ass, out of buried aunties, Mothers hardening like pounded stumps, out of stumps, Out of the bones' need to sharpen and the muscles' to stretch, They Lion grow.

What thoughts I have of you tonight, Walt Whitman, for I walked down the sidestreets under the trees with a headache self-conscious looking at the full moon. In my hungry fatigue, and shopping for images, I went into the neon fruit supermarket, dreaming of your enumerations! What peaches and what penumbras!
