Song of Origins: a great new poetry book by award winning Gabriella Cinti

By Gabriella Cinti
TRANSLATED BY BRENDA PORSTER

“This book stands as an exploration of the beginning of life that takes the shape of poetry in a dialogue with the primordial forms of the living, with which the poet is intertwined in a chain of love as she weaves her emotional and intellectual discourse. Here we also feel the underlying vibrations of an inexhaustible search for the Primary Sense of Being, an investigation of the birth of consciousness that bears the sign of the divine spark within.

Reading these poems, we seem to listen to a voice like our own, a voice that rises beyond the wall of indifference, sounding out sharp and clear to pronounce fully meaningful words that move towards “the beyond the beyond” and the “elsewhere.”

In this century of emotional desert and creeping nihilism, the soul can grow lazy at listening, but the collection “Song of Origins” by Gabriella Cinti (from her award-winning book “Prima”) “conquers silence by a thousand centuries” and becomes a living stone in the cultural panorama. In it, all realities merge in a superior universal vision, while an upward movement connects time and eternity, matter and form, finite and infinite.”                                                                                                   From the preface by Giovanna Albi
