Domenico Pisana and Grazia Dormiente
Great participation and appreciation for the new publication by Professor Grazia Dormiente, a historical figure of Pozzallo culture, a refined interpreter and poet with a luminous sensitivity. At the Società Operaia, Raccolta di versi sparsi was presented, a volume that brings together poems composed at different moments in the author's life and that today find a common home in a book rich in memory, emotions, and references to the themes that have always accompanied her: Pozzallo, the sea, the landscape, friendship, love for life.
Dormiente recounted feeling the need to organize her writings and having come across, over time, scattered sheets that held forgotten verses. From this rediscovery came the idea to collect them into a single work, transforming a thought postponed for years into a concrete project.
One of the novelties of the volume is the translation of the poems into French and English, curated by university lecturer Rose Adagio from the University of Catania, which further enriches the international scope of the book.
The meeting was opened by Professor Domenico Pisana, who offered a reflection on the value of small gestures and on poetry as a tool to explore emotions, relationships, and fragments of everyday life. He also emphasized the central role of the sea, described as a symbolic place capable of revealing meanings that often escape in contemporary frenzy. In this view, poetry becomes an invitation to slow down and observe with greater attention what surrounds us.
The volume, published by Martorina Edizioni, also benefits from the graphic contribution of Piero Roccasalvo, who during the cultural afternoon read some of the author's poems.
