This chapbook is a partial translation into English language of his latest collection, published in Italy by Fara Editore in 2006.

  Ci sarà qualcuno a dire che scrivo

  ed altri d’accordo annuire.

  E chiedono soldi per leggermi;

  e fanno dei versi un crogiolo

  cento storpi che sciacano a braccio

  a cercare conforto.

  There will be someone saying that I write

  and other people agree, nodding.

  And they will ask for money to read

  and turn my verses into a crucible,

  a hundred cripples blathering away

  looking for reassurance.
