商品簡介
Poetry. Bilingual Edition. Translated from the Italian, and with an introduction by Adria Bernardi. CHRONIC HEARING contains selections from seven collections. Annino writes poems of intense sensitivity, keen observation and feminine intuition touching on dark themes.
"It's this poet's lot in life to hear too well, too keenly, too precisely—to hear amplified what others hear at lower, livable decibels, to hear what is for others, perhaps, not audible at all—it is her lot in life to hear a sound—a hiss, for example, in a kind of shape, with an acoustic dimension—a hallway, for example, with its own measurable level of intensity, and to link it to its source—a cat, for example."—Translator Adria Bernardi, from the Introduction
"The first reading keeps us on the page as if it's magnetized..."—Nadia Augustoni
"Unconstrained by the desire to theorize a message, Cristina Annino allows the content of her poems to simply blossom, free. And it is precisely in these moments that an elegiac and philosophic tone emerges, entrusted to key verses that have a sudden, surprise effect, like when one takes a breath after a period of apnea. This is the author's striking intuition that grants the reader her sharp and unforgettable observations in verse, from which all the rest becomes illuminated, making Annino one of the preeminent and most contemporary Italian poets."—Allesandro Polcri
