Review Carmen Lama

The poems in this book deal with issues dear to the author, on which he composed verses in ways that are always original and different, with a style in which, besides the purity and clarity of expression, stand out rhythm, musicality and lyrical melancholy and accents. All items that you immediately understand and carrying the reader in the size of fantastic images from the poet.

Reading proceeds in an almost unconscious, because he felt in every line in every poem and a lightness and harmony that suggest an essential feature of "good writing" mentioned by Italo Calvino in his book "Memos".

is a way of writing, even in verse, in which the sophistication of the lexicon could confer lightness, almost transparent, the images that come with it evoked. And this feature is all the more impressive as the poetic content, per se, These issues might be considered almost "oppression of the soul, inner torments, after much searching and always a sense of unfinished things in the world: themes of a" heavy "indisputable seriousness.

If I had to condense into a few words poetic Cristina Bove, I would say that it is the " search for ultimate truth." With his poems, in fact, Cristina leads us to understand that we must not look far, in spheres and metaphysical dimensions, what is "within us." He invites us to experience wonder at the mystery of existence; to be amazed and moved by everything that man makes, creates, makes, to be part of the wonder of discovery, infinitesimal, yes, the universe, just as all existing things, and part of the essence in the world, Thus, the participation of the essence of "divine".

There are many poems in which this divine dimension is to be clearly explained as inherent in the human dimension. But the magic of these poems is the moment when the poet, found in the very essence of the man who sought truth, falls immediately into the theoretical question that swings between a steadfast faith in the beyond, the junction point between the origin and purpose of man, the rites el'impaccio unnecessary fumes in the eyes of unwary and extinguishing the light of the intellect. In these poems reaches a lyricism that is closely related to the intensity of his research and his insatiable thirst to know the true meaning of

Here, in these verses we find the exact spot from which it originated knowledge of the truth is shocking and the ease with which the poet makes us live this kind of magic-magic-mystery, revealing the cause, place, method, time, making us look absolutely divine, what is absolutely human, and thus bringing us to an existential dimension to a metaphysical dimension full of physicality, practicality and humanity that would appear, however, thanks to the mystery revealed, belong to a still higher sphere, all-encompassing. In fact, this same discovery in the poet puts the concepts of immortality of the soul and eternity of life, not its philosophical demonstration theorems, but simply broadening the concepts, rather than referring to single individuals, refer to the ' in-itself "of the two. As if to say: "my" life has its time, "my" soul dies with my body, but "Life " is eternal "soul" is immortal.

Linked to this great and fundamental theme of ultimate truth, but one certainty is that the restlessness of being uncertain, are the themes of a social nature that the poet faces in other poems, as well as the theme love, and his own existential anxiety present in many poems.

poems through which pours Cristina on paper all the pain and suffering that the foaming in the soul ", are the most interwoven with melancholy and nostalgic grips are delicate lines, intense, filling the heart of tenderness, while offering a vision of himself as a woman who chose poetry as a modus vivendi and a half to bring forth the divine pulse that has forged and " lives.

Another feature that, dare I say, dominates the verses of Cristina Bove, is the effective use of metaphors and other figures of speech as a particular stylistic devices that give a very thick, not only as to the content such, but also to its cultural background that is very rich, broad and diverse.

Read the poems in this collection, Flowers & Lightning, it means making time to read our hours, please try to follow the imagination of the poet that makes us fly with you in other worlds, and that makes us dream, giving us anyway - and above all - important signals educational indicators and new ways to understand and comprehend.
