Duh Hud by John M. Bennett

“John M. Bennett seems to break fresh ground with each new volume. His
approach to the technical matters at hand is as practical and
unbiased, and playful, as is his search for a personal yet communal
diction. He makes poetry of the very obstacles and impediments that
would otherwise clog his way. And as a writer of applied poetry, he
demonstrates without exception that poetic procedure is itself a way
of life, that there exists a universe of “new strategies” just waiting
to be discovered. I declare we must identify John M. Bennett as being
one of the most active and present forces happening today.”
—Gregory Vincent St. Thomasino

Dal 5 dicembre sarà in libreria la raccolta Tre poesie e alcune prose, di Roberto Roversi (Luca Sossella Editore).

Nel volume l’autore raccoglie Dopo Campoformio (nella versione 1965), Le descrizioni in atto (1969-85) e i versi degli anni Settanta e Ottanta riuniti nel Libro Paradiso (1993).

Non mancano, anzi occupano più di un terzo dell’intero volume, testi in prosa, numerosi. Suggeriscono l’ampiezza e lo spessore del quadro dell’attività di romanziere, oltre che di quella saggistica e militante: si possono leggere due estratti dai romanzi Registrazione di eventi (1964) e I diecimila cavalli (1976), e una scelta di scritti (compresi fra 1959 e 2004) dal titolo complessivo e ironico di Materiale ferroso.
