IL POETA SOLO
LA SCRITTURA IN VERSI DI CESARE PAVESE

The book examines Cesare Pavese's poetic production, attempting to reconstruct the poet's ontology, through his youthful poems, extravagant poems and published collections. City and country, woman and man, myth and history, love and death are the language through which the pages of this book move to show the history and geography of a singular lyrical journey in the history of Italian literature. Much time is dedicated to the examination of Lavorare stanca, Pavesi's first accomplished poetic collection. The themes, stylistic features and forms of Lavorare stanca, transcending the boundaries of the collection, arrive at the verses of La terra e la morte. The book closes with an analysis of Verrà la morte e avrà i tuoi occhi, the last poetic page of Cesare Pavese, who, in this way, is born and dies a poet.
