An angel lies on the ground among indifferent people and things. What does it mean? Let's follow it in its nowhere travel through carousels of words, pinwheels of allusions, curves of thoughts. Let's explore its body as the map for a journey through mankind: it lies there to tell us about us, like a new messiah, or a poet.
The Dead Angel by Mario Campanino, work in 24 poems, talks about the power of the poetic word to go deep inside the human soul. This new English edition includes an Introduction by the Italian poet and philosopher Flavio Ermini, and an Afterword by Carla De Bellis.
