The book reflects a deep engagement with the themes of existence, artistic expression, and the human condition, touching on the struggles and desires of both the poet and the broader society. The poems are likely to explore various emotional landscapes and philosophical inquiries, often contrasting the world of intellect with the realm of feeling. At the start of the collection, Fontana dedicates the work to Antonio Ghislanzoni, hinting at a playful and possibly contentious relationship with contemporary literary critiques and movements. The opening verses establish an introspective tone, with reflections on the nature of being a poet, the importance of genuine artistic expression, and a critique of superficiality in poetic and intellectual endeavors. The poet expresses a sense of rebellion against mediocrity, invoking a rich emotional vocabulary that suggests a longing for deeper meaning amidst the chaos of existence. There is a blend of personal insight and commentary on the artistic process, setting the stage for a thoughtful exploration of life’s experiences throughout the rest of the work.
