Poesie

Quel est le sujet du livre "Poesie"

Questo volume, che comprende l’intera produzione letteraria del poeta romano, dà la possibilità di indagare l’epoca, la temperie culturale, i modelli, il percorso artistico di un autore che compare in ogni antologia letteraria.
Al di là di ogni riflessione critica, è alla fantasia e al cuore delle persone che parla il ??oepiccolo fanciullo che piange” il poeta ??oeche non sognerà più / fino alla morte”, ma che esprime con immagini di lucidità folgorante il proprio misero mondo poetico, nella certezza, davvero moderna, che non esista alcuna parola salvifica.

Sergio Corazzini (6 February 1886 – 17 June 1907) was an Italian poet, a member of the Crepuscolari movement.

Born in Rome into a wealthy family, Corazzini formed at the Collegio Umberto I, where he was passionate author and director of the college's puppet theater. Because of his family's economic difficulties due to his father's reckless speculations on the stock market and to his mother's disease, he was forced to leave the college and to work in an insurance company.

Corazzini's poetical activities officially began in 1902, when his verses started to be regularly published in the magazine Pasquino de Roma (later Marforio). His first poetic collection, Dolcezze, was released in 1904, and was shortly later followed by L'amaro calice, which got critical acclaim and critical comparisons to Stéphane Mallarmé, Francis Jammes and Jules Laforgue, among others. In 1905 Corazzini founded the short-lived literary magazine Cronache latine, wrote his only drama play Il traguardo, and released a third poetry collection, Le aureole

Seriously ill with tuberculosis, in 1906 he moved to Nocera Umbra, before being hospitalized at the Nettuno sanatorium in autumn of the same year. In sanatorium he started an unfinished translation of Joséphin Péladan's Sémiramis and kept composing poetries, partly collected in Libro per la sera della domenica. In 1907 he eventually returned in his home in Rome, where he died on 17 June 1907, aged 21 years old.
