If there was still need for it, another
demonstration of how a scholar also
committed to literary criticism (Sovente,
among other things, teaches Contemporary
Literature at the Academy of Fine Arts of
Naples) and a poet who has written both in
Italian and Latin can find the ways of the
“earth,” not to lower his expressive tone or
linguistic quality, but to reiterate what is by
now a sacrosanct truth: the important thing
is for the vital energy underlying creation to
enter the verse and then, maybe in very poor
translations, the poetry will remain; badly
attired or even disguised if you like, but
ready to undress as soon as it is stimulated or
invited.
Sovente was born in Cappella (Naples) in
1948.
