on writing poetry of Nino Contilia



Friday, 19 .11.2010, in the conference room of the library "Marucelliana" in Florence, Antonino Contilia presented his latest book of poems I (S) Dyad / The binary dell'asiento , edited for notebooks "Collective R / Atahualpa, 2010," the magazine of poetry and literature, directed by Luca Rosi. The presentation of the work was done by the author Marsala Martha Canfield (University of Florence) and the Sicilian poet and essayist John Commute.

Contilia the poet, returning in Marsala, we ask you to refer, briefly, how the meeting went and if I (S) Dyad / The binary dell'asiento received additional evidence (beyond that already published by us of Mary Patrick Allotta in recent days), if in the course or any other publication in its anthology, and if we can say that motivation led him to write (not long ago our newspaper has hosted two items) on the painting of Toti Lombardo and Giacomo Cuttone.
Responses:
The presentation went beyond my expectations for the cutting of critical speeches of the two speakers, both qualified for the attention of the public. The start was given by the poet L. Rosi. Rosi recalled the old ties that since the late seventies (of the last century) onwards Contilia held close to the group of Florentine poets of commitment and experimentation of those years, and how the magazine CollettivoR "was a through the strongest with the poetry of the Sicilian dell'Antigruppo, whose voice was one of Contilia youngest and last. Rosie also said the participation of Contilia experiences and cultural performances and poetry of the 'Arch / roller-coaster "of Florence in the eighties of last century, John
Commare, covering the various texts of the book, he met sull'unitarietà poetic style of I (S) Dyad / The binary dell'asiento, highlighting the fact that the existential and political content have been filtered by both a sound and rhythmic polyphony (carefully constructed by sliding signifiers and / or using various forms of sound- poietic compositional logic and rhetoric) and from a deliberate and marked allegorizing parody. A language "upset" and "complex" in its various offers and stretched to the degree of irony (strong and funny) and sarcasm (as noted by the poet and critic Dominic Cara about "Time of layout", 2007);
Martha Canfield ( University of Florence), after asking the direct reading of the poet "Binary, dark, Fuse, Spin," focuses his attention on "Spin". One of the texts of the collection relates to the Eros with the feminine body language and strange as intriguing. But it also speaks of eros in its links with politics and religion. As suggested I (S) Dyad), in fact, eros infiltrates and affects the body system religion and politics. Note, not to talk about our days, that tells us the story of the beheading of the "rebel" Giovanni Battista ordered by the king, but wanted to Herodias as a reward after the erotic dance of Salome. Like John Commare, Canfield also held to point out that, in this poetry collection, Eros is the passion of Contilia for / of the language, and especially that of poetry;
between assistance from the public, that of critic and historian of "literature as a novel general, Stefano Lanuzza. The Lanuzza spoke of neo-baroque linguistic variation that causes proliferative and critical thinking in the face of today wear the language info-emotion/intrattenimento which affects the ability to think. And the verbal and semiotic efflorescence that branched lives of the verses I (S) Dyad it is the clearest proof. The reviewer also mentioned some of our current research and theory of poetry that involves the subject in its individual and collective subjectivity, and the production of collective works of poetry or Sine Nomine (completed or in course of work like this online www.retididedalus.it in with the collective name of "We Rebeldía 2010). He also referred to a neo-Enlightenment search as a bridge between scientific knowledge and poetic. Moreover Ilias Prigogine says that science is a poetic play of nature and history.
For other examples, waiting for the next publication (Arenaria/2011) of the research essay Marta Barbato (University of Palermo), I remember the certificates Franca Alaimo (Palermo) and Maria Attanasio (Caltagirone). Alaimo
Franca: "Contilia belongs to the ranks of writers who, going to open eyes on the muddy and bloody body of the real, non-stops to feed future utopias: is not contained in the very title of his poem (designed as a cross in stages - Some texts titled - World now and here) the answer to the 'dyad was?
That "s" encapsulated does not ask to be released from its bracket as the bars of a cage? And, in fact, by doing so, readers will find the magic formula, eros. Nothing new. Nothing, unless we deal with the "how", that is the medium through which they travel the author's ideas, the ties between his state of observer, observed reality and the overall design of the new map drawn.
Contilia begins to blow up half the usual: the language, mixing with the ferocity of the rebel and tenderness dell'Innamorata who dreams of the other possible language, capable of leading humanity towards new, better goals, so that the destruction scintillino already the seeds of re-construction. Contilia grabs all the body language, Piling parts missing, lost, forgotten, asks greedily at the time and space, including poems, phrases, titles that refer to writers, essays, films, books and anything else of the recent past and distant, and also accepting the terms and phrases of 'other languages, especially from the air in science and mass media, of yesterday and of today.
E 'an erotic exploration of the language characterized by the same passion and power of the senses of a lover who tirelessly travels the body of the woman he loved. This seems to me the meaning of at least half of the texts that make up "I (s) dyad," which, in them, inventing a new kind of love poetry, crushing and sommuovendo, but without clear, lyrical tone, gives voice Contilia, yes, to an intimate story of love, but with awe, to wonder, following his inner track, ends with the woman's body that coincides with that of poetry and language, which is jagged and multiply excited vibrations, leaps of imagination, unusual union, dialogue and conflict: a + and then one of two units in an attempt to undo the limits. E ', ultimately, this is his way of seeing the world, if the other ceases to be away, if it approximates to the more intimate contact, you return the unit.
But it is the utopia, utopia! To be kept high, sure, especially against the false and universally conveyed into the cage of the world increasingly caught up in computer networks, broadcasting, ideological. Which network ever had to make to make Peter's many live fish from Lake Tiberias and shiny that seemed completely senseless! Which network against seemingly deserted, devitalized?
why the net language that spoke well "beautiful" the Pharisees were broken, are broken, ever! Contilia does it in every way, with great seriousness, but sometimes you leave the game, of poverty, of poverty, trying different tones: the ironic, the humorous, the play separately, but also together in the same text, in a sort of large-visual collage of sound.
But the reader must not be distracted, because the author makes the game, at times, those same critics who, as if to say that even the writers of poetry and to be trusted! Attentive reader, who seduces you with words like the snake of Eden! And be careful, indeed, poetry man! Because in this poem - he always says - it talks about you, the reality you live, disasters of greed, of dry laws of the market, the eternal inequality, thirst, hunger, blood, shipwrecks: here they are new martyrs of today! Contilia choose them as fellow travelers of him, giving them the space to cover (Acrylic - "The Island is coming 2" - is the painter James Cotton), where they hope despair among the blue of the sea, the red is the blood of death, blood or a setting sun rises, it is not known; and the green of a promise, a remote island, which is their utopia.
After all, "poetry and utopia are trapped?" Asks Luca Rosi seems that comment with his poetry on the back cover of his book, which, precisely targeted. And a word to say with him, with them, "insiders", because, finally, what is the Contilia wants to prove there, here, now, with the only weapons at his provision, 'the verses and the sneers'. "
Maria Attanasio:" ... thanks to Eros (d) dyad, which I read with great curiosity.
I did not expect it so disruptive textuality and original energy or the strength of your multilingual (English to Latin to French: sometimes all in one verse!), Or a trial so bold expressive, varied, crossed by rhymes and harmonies, from the corrosive irony and commitment by invective and fun (Manet, La Moneda, for example). Especially so expressively deragliante than compared to a poem today more and more serious and sentimental (without feeling, though!) often returns to the heart to rhyme with love, writing with dictatorship. "
The original impetus that motivated me to write on the painting of Toti Lombardo ("Abstraction in painting Toti Lombardo) was the geometry of colors and artistic ornamentation coniugante the story of his journey, the traces of the revised florality Mediterranean culture together with the proportion of conjugated forms of logic and abstract, "invented" and pictorial imagination wisely and patiently cared for.
For the artwork of James Cuttone, the speech would be longer. His painting moved me and moves me to his allegorical and poetic expression "committed" ("The allegorical expressionism in painting of James Cuttone"), and why, harmony, the artist has always interpreted artistically set up my lyrics and the cover of my books. But there is a mutual respect and harmony on the word displayed (poetry) and painting that says (arts). An old militant dissent, research and excavation, which runs through his entire artistic career, is another motivation, as is also the value of its con-figurations related to the themes of "migrant" and its cultural implications -policies, and of which "is not coming Island 2" - which completes the cover of "I (s) dyad / The binary dell'asiento "- is only one copy.
In order to my future publications of poetry, I can anticipate that in Rome (ed. Brew, even the name of the magazine I work with for years) is being printed anthology is a body which is also a section of my unpublished collected under the CONTROPRESENTE title. This small collection is part of "SSSS ... indigo in Kakan", the text dedicated to the "glitz" Marsala summer 2010.

The exercise poetic Anthony Contilia

Maria Patrizia Allotta


" In the month that begins spring of 2010 that we receive a new gift from Anthony Contilia entitled I (S) Dyad / The binary dell'asiento where you can take, once again, the delicacy of a soul that sings and calls tirelessly and sensitivity a spirit that inevitably excites and thrills.
Also in this collection, as always, behind the dragging "madness" bizarre paths dictated by lexical and grammatical paths masterfully by our Sicilian author, we see as the way of "wisdom" that belongs so intimately to distinguish it from more and sleepers, as well as we recognize the bold linguistic and literary transgression which, however, almost mysteriously, every player brings to the myth and tradition, the value of each audio track and the sense of every word mark and above all the importance of writing and the secret of the liberating word.
Opera, one of Contilia, where science intersects with philosophy, interweaves the immanence to transcendence, the sacred and the profane organization, depends on the reason for alteration, the mind is united to the body, the indignation generates 'love, becomes one with the divine beauty.
In many ways, then, time, apparently in addition to "layout" or suspended, blocked but extraordinarily infinite, the space crossed, but inexplicably bound unlimited, the Cosmo devastated, hurt, disfigured, but also pleasantly indeterminable, the man mocked, vilified, tortured and yet deeply loved.
Sounds, beating and flags alternate with silence, hugs and dreams. A Dyad
eternal, in short, good moves, between theory and practice, system and action, ideology and commitment, tradition and innovation together.
And they certainly are "delusions of silent bodies to the wind", the "mergers and dispersions of Horrors", the 'endless massacre of the poor ", the grueling" beat the dead ", but also too many" rafts adrift " the unbearable hunger flexible, "" insecure and expensive clothes "ol'offensivo red sea of \u200b\u200bblood" that led him to speak out as "no longer has time to require time to ask" why "another world is possible "as well is the" slaughter seamless "," freedom languishing, "so and so is a church" and even "love for rent ..., Justice and the courts to panelleeeee to pancakes," but also " around the brothel and a life to shreds, "the" precarious work, I eat occasional time I fall in love with "that make him feel "as well as squatting dissociated so suspended so surprised" but also "so" as flexible as a fuse. " It is a warning
dictated his house, his commitment to a prophetic exhortation, an example of the nobility, especially when, perhaps exhausted but not resigned, but folded fighter, still bravely speaks of the "consciousness fleet in the wilderness" of those "folds that does not explain" and that "life is not for everyone of all."
It is always nice to think that this old young man who already "had been lost in the gaze" can be convinced that "time does not sound twice, never the same song of wind and sky "and that" one does not die in one go "so you can pick enthusiastically and then sing" The smell in the ruins, "" delicious to the tide of the volcano "and" delirium in love "... that enchants.
Rage and anger in his words, exercise and spiritual entronautico in his poems, deeply-felt love and peace of the dream of lucid delirium in his philosophy. "

Trampling oblivion / Cento Italian poets against the unconstitutional threat to the strength of Republican memory, edited by David and Fabio Note Earrings, e-book (first edition) and Nie Wieme (second edition coming in November 2010, Ancona).




In the formation of Italian unity and born in the debate on its institutional structures, the poem was a witness and a critic always uncomfortable. We want to say that it was always present as significant and unavoidable part of speech and of the polis, and that now, the publication (2010) in e-book (coming soon to the Series Editor's Cathedral Argo, Ancona) the neglect of the poetic work Trampling - Hundred Italian poets against the unconstitutional threat to the strength of Republican memory, by Note to David and Fabio earrings, is not only a confirmation, but a need, a necessity and an urgent commitment. Far from Croce's aesthetic thought, here we can not, however, does not mention, however, the truth, as does Norberto Bobbio (From fascism to democracy, 2008, p. 232), engaging in Eugenio Garin (The intellectuals of the twentieth century), that a culture of "disengagement "to cross, of course, and rightly so," was makes no sense. "
The expulsion of poets from the city, as Plato wanted the political, then it worked in reverse: the demon of poetry conflict has left the link to the winds of poetic lexis with the socio-political praxis. The rest would be unthinkable, and it is impossible, that thought, that actually reads the first language, let the action of the word cultural and / or poetry distant from the affairs of the city to shut her the intimacy of private individuals, and leave the polls for a specialist capital turns, 'ethics' and ability to critique the political economy as well as poetic economy of the poem ego devoted to the lyricism depoliticized.
But now suspend this step (in front) and back, albeit briefly, and omitting the accent of polyphony aesthetic and poetic, to "Trampling the oblivion" is, in our opinion, a true free open source cooperative dell'eteregoneità set of civic and poetry. In that poem, called around to the common good knowledge of poetry, which gets his hands dirty with the historical and material reality of this sad and violent time, and without measure and compare it with the public only in the agora throws his arms language "aseico" and criticism of the trial. The initiative and the project anthology is not guilty of the lack of a monthly group, and already the "we" the general intellect poetic enter into collective action in / with "Trampling the oblivion" is in itself is a compass orientation qualifying. If anything, however, is to be commended for having the plurality of styles and languages, their writing of poetry and poets participating textuality as a singularity, the unequal equality rallied to reaffirm and defend the right and the value of antagonism and conflict. Salt, not unrelated to the very conception of individual individualistic liberalism, the life of a living community of democrats, who are far Trained as a zombie that would like the society of the spectacle and his government barker. Why are these
"100 Poets" "Trampling the oblivion" are collected and gathered there not only for the exercise of practical use the plural form of poetry, but also for the values \u200b\u200band practice of political freedom and social equality in 'substantial optical republican democracy (the model that has wanted to synthesize the "common" of the idea and practice of genuine democracy - not a revolution, not only promise kept - the political ideals of the various forces of the "resistance" were anti-fascist and today).
The common good that is won and bequeathed by the anti-fascist struggle, and then shared by the parties as set out in the "resistance" in the written agreement that is the Italian Republican Constitution (the charters, we must not forget, developed dialogically - ethics of public reason - from the group of "seventy-five" - \u200b\u200b75 - Arc Resistance), whose assets now is pilloried and threatened in our country, and under the patronage of the conservative regime and the reactionary right. The excessive power and the blindness of the "dictatorship of ignorance" that band of neo-liberal government in office, Berlusconi and ideology commodification of the world (effective regulatory and prescriptive plebiscite and advertising to all and sundry), distorts the soul and content of that Constitution, as well as to mock the opposition and the story with the spot of the "people of freedom" of pulp fiction. If
Enlightenment (not to go back again to Dante or the history of the birth of municipalities in Italy), the Risorgimento and the unification of the nineteenth century, crises, birth and fall of Fascism and building on the Republican (XX century) , literature, art and poetry have never ceased to care (and quite known what to talk about it in these few lines) of the civil dimension, social and political life of the country Italy, is very symptomatic of a cultural and political reaction will the fact that much of the government press, or of many of its members, today per hour, as reported by the news coverage, reacted negatively to the publication of ' e-book Trampling poetic oblivion and consents received. In a letter to
Micromega, David Note, a curator, differentiating between oblivion and trample trample the truth, he wrote ("The Crane", www.lagru.org):

"The tones are mostly ridicule and aimed to make a caricaturist reduction aimed at teasing towards participants, portrayed as a "battleship Potemkin "(Il Giornale) of old and" dark "(Free) poets nostalgic for the '68 and full of" hatred "against Silvio Berlusconi (Il Giornale, Il Foglio), and regarding the transaction itself renamed" Poets against Silvio "(Il Giornale).

Now, in this country, where the injuries (Bossi) institutions and the people do not count, and weigh the other hand keys (more or less spicy: see the events tied to the" Year Zero "... just to mention a more recent one) without administrators Italy-Company, and the Minister of slackers (Renato Brunetta) He trains himself to apostrophize Italian intellectuals such as "elites of shit", but the real offense is the acquiescence accomplice to the coup Caesarism consumed fresh air from the right by Berlusconi and the more virulent than downhill.
The poets can not help but rebel - Trampling forgetting is this entry - or remain as it thundered Breton, in the silence of the "priests".
It is certainly not a livable country whose socio-political organization collecting today is sent down, with the actual responsibility of those progressive forces and left, between the status of a private company / and hand / I / and the Mafia / and Padania and Berlusconi. A real coup Caesars who plays offense to the conscience cultural and ethical-political aspect of our history and the community rallied around the common good and, among other property, whether that is that knowledge and practice of writing meaningful textual poetry. Textuality of the aesthetic diversity of styles and established his own poetic singularity at each of the "100" gathered from / to "Trampling forgetting."
a "constituent assembly" just like "75" of the Constitution of the anti-fascist resistance and popular democracy.
So even now, as yesterday, poetry, always mocked and marginalized by the power and wealth and the mandarins of slavery, returns to claim his right to rebellion as a party, and directly. Called the "strength of memory" and the "memory of the resistance," the polyphony of poetry and aesthetic pluralism, evidenced by individual poets antologizzati but unanimous in the use of antagonistic conflict and its wording, has responded in chorus (rhythm polisemofonia) , thanks to team work in which the "difference" was the universal rather than an abstract and formalist canon. David
Note, in fact, points out that the new version of "Trampling the oblivion" is also the work of the "valuable contribution of the magazine" Argo "in the persons of Earrings poet and scholar Fabio Valerio Cuccaroni, poets and friends and organizers of Henry and Lucile Cerquiglini Santoni, "and that" this collection of poems is [...] quite diverse in style and content, ranging from intervention in the civil meditation metaphysics on the theme of memory, from the expressionist poem radiography post-human mutation of anthropological, as well as formally switching from the traditional meter rhythmic prose, or gender lyrical narrative to experimental. And this is also a good sign, showing that the disruption of critical culture in schools and poetic style of communicating is not autonomous and completely dated and no longer meets the requirements of the story in action. "
This new commitment of poetry, choral free open source, cooperative and non-hierarchical, that can not be signed as the new experimental poetry and avant-garde of a civil commitment, consistent with the multiple identities and become the new generation hybrid interculturally . Barbaro is the terrorist and the discourse of monolingualism that maims and impoverishes the master identity and unique processes antagonists!
A constellation concept, this feature avant-garde, that necessity and contingency of things in society and languages \u200b\u200bof the immaterial risen to the productive force and production relations of capital and profit-system class, risemantizzata be (the concept of matter and / or energy risemantizzati in various stages of scientific-philosophical models, from classical physics to non-Cartesian-Newtonian or relativistic and quantum-dynamical systems theory, not why they lost their name ).
The historical temporality, accelerated by the technological revolution permanent symbolic, does not leave anything of real estate. The mutation of anthropological "post-human" society of the spectacle and biotechnology, with its "ethical hyphenated" (S. Zizeck) has undermined the natural barriers of the same autonomy and independence of the individual will to resolve the humanistic-Christian civilization Catholic middle class. But not why the alien and alienating of poetic language can be less or cut ties with its polar tension, which governs the universe and the forces of social life of people with their own subjectivity and interdependent system, nor can opting out of an 'awakening' of ustorio tendency to burn the ghost reified the mirror.
is worth, then, here, to remember that for its configuration far from conforming to models of the past anthologies (bunch of flowers and Fiorfiore with the basic principle stated), this grouping is rather cut his sister " anti-anthology "- Poetry in Comice (Rome, Empire, 2008) - edited by Francis Muzzioli and Marcello Carlino. The 'anti-anthology which brought together thirty-seven (37) poets for a collection that is "as a field and a task which everyone is free to respond." The number of poets of the "resistance" then amounted to 137. If we add the other one hundred of the forthcoming "The unpoetic Mafia" Edition www.edizionecfr.it (Association poiein), reaching 237. It is a
quantoqualiativo enough, this fierce 'armata Brancaleone "poetry calendar for a revival of the trend-strength active in the area? It is certainly testimony and presence is not necessary to stop the way of an allegory reflecting the proceedings.
