They (Not) Always Remember. Round Table Discussion About Patrizia Vicinelli’s Poetry

In Villa Aldini, in collaboration with Patto per la Lettura di Bologna, within the Inosservanza festival curated by the Archivio Zeta theatre company, there is going to be a round table discussion to talk and think about the presence of Patrizia Vicinell’s work in the contemporary poetical context. The meeting is curated by Lorenzo Mari, poet and translator, and Beatrice Seligardi, comparative literature scholar, and will be attended by poets Loredana Magazzeni, Rosaria Lo Russo and Alberto Masala. 

Lorenzo Mari lives and works in Bologna. He published some poetry books, among which Querencia (Oèdiopus, 2019) and Tarsia/Coro (Zacinto, 2021).
