Book candidate for the 1st Edition of the Strega Poetry Prize 2023 the most prestigious Italian literary award. The lyrics contained in the collection represent a courageous experiment in reconstructing the emotional dimension of Olena, a young poet who sends letters in verse to her beloved, a partisan on the Ukrainian war front.
The author, Anna D'Auria, with a game of narrative doubling, lends her pen to the voice of the protagonist thus realizing a love correspondence between a she and a he divided by hatred of war. Despite the precise historical setting, paradoxically the poems rise from the particular and take on a universal value, as an instrument of brotherhood beyond divisions, flags and partisan interests: love belongs to everyone, Ukrainians and Russians.
Dedicated to the heroism of the Ukrainian people and to all lovers divided by hatred of war. -With Images taken by Ukrainian photojournalist Ksusha Fetisova. Donbass, Ukraine 2022.
-Original title: I COLORI DI KIEV, Poesia in trincea. 1st Edition February 2023*, pp. 77, Copyright 2023 by Officine Culturali Romane ROME ITALY, Translated by prof. G. Niola.
