CALABRIA
Before achieving truly original results,
for a long time poetry in the Calabrian
dialect followed the two lines inherited from
the Nineteenth Century: the vernacular,
even comical, aimed at giving a voice to
uncultured speakers, which never posed the
question of joining semantic instruments
and grammatical systems, and has always
remained anchored to the mimetic use of
language; and the argumentative, bent on
building ideologically a sort of artificial
alternative to reality, not infrequently alert
to the possibilities of a critical conjugation
with the protest.
Quantitatively prevalent have always
appeared to be the mimetic stances, leaning
heavily on the side of the popular, with less
frequent stylistic and thematic tensions in
