Impronte foglie parole

“A landscape of imprints, thoughts, words impressed
on the surface of the world.
They envelop it like a continuous sound, modulated by the intensity
of the words of the poet who entrusts to the surface of the pages
of his first book expectations, hopes, fervours, illusions,
and, having published his book, covers it with fingerprints, caresses it,
leafs through it, opens it as he opens his hand and, touching it,
collects on his fingers ink traces of his words,
the forest of his thoughts”.

Giuseppe Penone, Scritti, Electa, Milan, 2022
