Alfredo de Palchi’s « The Aesthetics of Equilibrium » / Xenos Books

Alfredo de Palchi‘s new collection of prose poems, The Aesthetics of Equilibrium, has just been published by Xenos Books in John Taylor’s translation. A sample text:

I haven’t a single thought of you death. . . you who think of me with the realistic nostalgia of a nurse in gloomy diamonds you who read to me an extremely long breviary of notes lexically out of tune according to the solfeggio of shadows and lights. . . You think of me with a Mother Courage’s love for an ancient son growing up too slowly among the harshness of the vile whom I insult so they won’t rest in peace. . .

non ho un pensiero di te morte. . . sei tu che mi pensi con realistica nostalgia di nutrice in diamanti foschi che mi leggi un breviario lunghissimo di note lessicalmente stonate secondo il solfeggio di ombre e di luci. . . tu mi pensi con amore di madre coraggio per un figlio antico che troppo lentamente cresce tra rigori di vili che insulto perché non restino in pace. . .
