Sciamanica

«Inside me, confusingly, always,/ flow rivers and fires, stars migrate/ and transhume animals with anomalous faces/ creatures from beyond dreams and pain/ accompanied by the entire night of the world».

«Visionary, bewildering, epic, wild, Francesco Benozzo has the unique capacity to bring the word back to the moment when it named the world the first time. What this poet consistently and surprisingly puts into action, poem after poem, is a revolution of the very idea of poetry: without compromise, and with its timeless and universal dimension, he can be considered as the Homer of post-modernity» (M. Lope Estrada).
