Wording For Baby Shower Out Of Town Guests

Appeal of poets against the landfill at ITHACA


Against megadiscarica Serre (Sa), the poets take to the field.

"The community of intellectuals, poets and artists will not stand idly by while you wish to play havoc with the environment.

"

This is the heartfelt plea of \u200b\u200bthe poet Erminia Passannante, native place, wounded and embittered for a decision that is not taking into account the history, natural heritage, landscape, wildlife, cultural, agricultural, architectural and archaeological heritage of an area that dates back to the origins of Western civilization, and whose area includes the ruins of Paestum , with its temples, as reported by the 'UNESCO World Heritage Site and the suburban area of \u200b\u200bthe sanctuary of Argive Hera, a place of worship prior to arrival Greek and for the worship of Hera, the main deity and protector of the religious heritage of navigation, landing and fertility of natural and human.

The first, with Erminia Passannante to join this initiative were Francesco Agresti, Martha Canfield, Ennio Cavalli and Dante Maffia, who, in agreement with the Municipality of Serres, give rise to some literary initiatives within the local authority Serre.

How Much Are Amf Bowling Games

Serre and the poetic world of FRANCESCO AGRESTI






A book becomes invaluable when you try to read it again in the new emotions.

"Ithaca," the island impossible Francesco Agresti, belongs to this kind of book.
The verse poem for two voices starring Odysseus and Circe.
Ulysses feels deep in the remoteness of the homeland, but at the same time the impossibility of landing, the last and definitive life of every man.
When we have reached the goal, this goes away, it becomes impossible because new obstacles barring our longing for happiness.
Circe is the alter ego of Ulysses. "My life is a start constant between magmatic landscapes of a weary world." And Ulysses answered, "In fjords dissonant and lifeless, between the seas and foul deep waters is consumed navigate through these banks." The banks of the fate that dominates and determines our being in the world. The fate that pushes the crews on boats that do not arrive at their destination than as "rotten banks and pale, while consuming 'the inevitable happen at all."
Ithaca for Francesco Agresti, poetic metaphor of our being in the world. There is Ulysses who wins the other traveling companions. So how about no longer, and alone, mage, but sorry interpreter of the world believes that brutish, suggestively, to govern.
Both Ulysses Circe are questioning the existence of man, on his instincts and his weaknesses.
The island is difficult to achieve, and not subject to the visible human 'epiphanies'. The myth of the hero greek charges, in the poem of Agresti, new symbols. The trip is not only opposed by the travel knowledge and geographic areas unexplored, but painful experience of the mystery of existence in a dark world of magma inextricable. We are all far from the island
fatally impossible, from implementing the dreams that maybe they could persuade us to live and pass through the gaze of the consuming passion, or affections unresolved. Francesco Agresti
The poem suggests that. And "every voice, sound, or singing ... is an offshoot of pure poetry."

First Solar Boat Trip


of all trips
dream of rotten wood dissolved
ideas

Browse the mind exhausted
passion
sounds sweeter
swollen sadness of the sea royal

nothing
looking for a call to touch the joy over

fauna unknown

The stories of single men in
bleached-wood and fantastic cards

Where
expects the sweetness of tired lady
my head wrong

(Stanislaus Nievo)
