This is a poet who gives a coherent shape to those emotions stirred in us by the world’s happenings, feelings we rarely examine closely. But Pratesi conveys those feelings in a way that speaks directly to the reader, without emphasis, not overlaying the reader’s emotions with his own, simply holding up he mirror of his own experience to the ones we live every day. "Pictures, sounds and cries from history that in their slow progress through the centuries gain contemporary authenticity. This is the central theme of this small collection of confused and scattered meditations on how, in many things, mankind has not changed, and on the need to express small, silent battles for justice, to give voice to the many needless dead of the bellum omnium contra omnes. " Stefano Pratesi was born in Rome on 19th March 1976: He lives in Pomezia (RM), and works in the field of Law and Philosophy in a number of Italian universities.
