Beschreibung

To float next to our inner child. To touch him by touching ourselves. To go as far as to lose ourselves into a “border vagueness”, in “the glare of a nebulous frontier”. This is the path between perceptiveness, psychoanalysis and magic which Filippo Parodi has undertaken by revisiting a wearing past, a gloom concealing ego traps and blaming archetypes. And through that darkness, beside the child – first angry, then an encouraging guide – the author walked, until he found a space of possible release. Hence his poetic testimony, almost in direct contact with the rapprochement process (and sometimes reconciliation) with childhood. A writing style more corporeal and immediate than his previous works. A writing in which the ancient desire to take off and play the game, even in the clear awareness of the inescapable travail of existence, resurfaces.

POEMS

[The poems collected in Flaming Child have no title: the titles listed here are taken from their incipit – the first verse – for editorial needs.]

We met

You challenge my whole chest

Throughout the afternoon

The pie

Under our small soles

Will you get on that

It is in the writing

The Sorceress

The day he was going

Beautiful my child

At the Sorceress

Squeezed in the morning

Punctual

You were born and I desired that!

Voices that

At home

You were going to punch

For sure

She shakes her head, the Sorceress.

I always tell new names

I’m chanting lullabies

At times

You won’t interrupt me

Synthetic on the right

A father

I draw you

I’ve learnt

It seems nearly to slide down

In truth

You would have found yourself

The ancient leitmotiv.

The Sorceress is foaming.

How delightful

GO AHEAD

I am like a tree

A tip-tap made by the Sorceress

The facade

It was just your fantasy

You and I

Children fingers on

We hang

I take you to the woods on Sundays for a stroll,

Some mornings I get up

Presentation

Punctual

I’ve partaken

in a past that often seemed

more yours than mine

as not a part of me.

Wandering and asking.

Anyway just there.

In the fog. In the passage.

In the orgasm of the meeting.
