Wters, Not So Simply Waters by Adriana Musitano takes on the water that runs, that burns, that speaks, and that reclaims itself. Poetic words construct landscapes that show the complexity, beauty, magnetic, and vital mystery of water. Franca Maccioni adds an analytical and poetic perspective to the ebook, allowing the e-reader to explore the author's poetics and enjoy the layout and sound. In Maccioni's words: "
waters, not so simply waters. Everything seems to be at play there, in the convolution that the poem draws to clarify that it is neither about the clear nor the simple, that we must "look beyond transparency," that this comma, like a roughness that rejects the illusory flatness of language, demands to be felt (and made sense of) like a salty grain placed on the tongue or like a stone that forces a leap. Anyone who has attempted a crossing of the river or its banks knows this: we leap when we sense a gap in the surfaces on which we stand upright. And the same goes for anyone who has ever attempted to immerse themselves in the meanders of writing". This digital poetry book brings together typographical games in the poems, an excellent and careful essay by Franca and photographs of the poet.
