With all the Love of "'Na Rosa Calabrisi" Rosetta's first Pontoriero

E' il mese dell'amore febbraio. Almeno dovrebbe esserlo, c'è San Valentino, i negozi sono allestiti di tutto punto di rose rosse, di cuori imbottiti, cupidi armati di arco e freccia e Baci Perugina in tutti i formati. Sono solo elementi consumistici - votivi che da qualche anno seguono il ritmo scandito dal commercio, che segue, a sua volta, gli eventi annuali e ormai fissi del calendario. Tra cotanto amore esposto in vetrina c'è da segnalare l'uscita, shy, reserved, almost discreet, a book all the vicissitudes of love-oriented feeling. A write of a poet Spilinga, the country's' nduja, the country's strong and spicy sausage tied to the original pork and chili. She, the poet, called Rosetta Pontoriero, Cicinneja nickname, and, as she writes in the preface, his is a book of love but also of indignation. " The poems are written in the vernacular with translations in Italian and the peculiar thing is that this is an autobiographical, research in itself, but it is useful to many other "wounded in love." A great love, a disappointment, a change of course, an abandonment, and finally this book, a song of love but also of high indignation it takes to heal, a form of communication, a dynamic process of word to the man who runs away and leaving the field, usually for another woman. The roles are still pliable and fold up man or woman and the wounding of the heart usually does not change. The collection, entitled 'Na Rosa Calabrisi "proposal, as emphasized by the Pontoriero," the need to express feelings of love, hope, sadness, joy, moments of despair and relief, so that nothing and no one can understand how you feel when suffer for a great love lost for those who did not bother to love seriously. " The volume scans, points out tracks, it tells memory, messages of love sung as a serenade under the balconies, messages sometimes anger towards those who had not, deserved or shown love, punishment ink on sheets wet with tears of love. The author, for a moment, a sort of flashback, identifies herself as one of the balconies, one of the beloved, and writes, gives vent to feelings of love but also of pain and hope, translate into verse the emotions strong passing, those forgotten and those that remain unforgettable in and scratch the skin. Rosetta Pontoriero frees his thoughts and entrusts them to the pen to the paper, the electronic memory of a text and facebook. The anguish and the torment of unrequited love, of abandonment, then become a farewell processing and release that conveys the courage and diverged in a start again, to return to live in forging ahead with vigor and hope for the future. The volume is divided into four chapters entitled: Petals of love, life petals, petals and petals to laugh once. One hundred pages for Graphic Arts of Tropea Romano Editions that are a real treasure trove, as well as poetry and poetics, including a rare dialect terminology recovered, rediscovered and re-used within the verses.
