Le site américain Poetry Daily a choisi un poème en prose du livre The Little Book of Passage (Bitter Oleander Press) pour leur présentation quotidienne:

But you bring clay. You add more clay from the beginning
of the world. You go to the broken, empty places. You are
beckoned by the warm places, a sweaty manual worker who
smiles when what he has built up collapses.
You smile, time begins all over again. A warm towel envelops
you up to your forehead, brings you back to the kitchen, into
the tub on the table. Your mother’s big hands wash your hair.

— Franca Mancinelli, traduit de l’italien par John Taylor
