Highlights from Pratik's Current Issue: New Poems by Flaminia Cruciani & Zairo Ferrante

 

Flaminia Cruciani





We are not yet ourselves

we continue to become ourselves every day

and when we are finished we die.

Death is therefore a form of perfection.

 

Translated from the Italian by Stephen Greco

 

Flaminia Cruciani is an archeologist and Near East scholar who has worked in prehistoric Ebla, Syria, and written a remarkable book about her experiences, Lezioni d’immortalità (Lessons of Immortality), in which she also writes compassionately about the Syrian villagers she meets. She lives in Rome.

 


Zairo Ferrante



TRAVELING THOUGH SILENCE

Only driven by the wind

I hear how it sings

and by its charm

find myself in the sun.

It’s morning!

 

Translated from the Italian by Margaret Saine

 

Zairo Ferrante is director of radiology at a hospital in Venice, Italy. He has founded the successful experimental poetry movement Din-Animismo, a portmanteau of Dynamism and Animism, where he is the principal editor.
