Alessandro Timpanaro and Luca Piscitelli on womanity and human fragility
Alessandro Timpanaro and Luca Piscitelli’s editorial highlights a perpetual flux fantasizing on alternate realities and ways of being. An editorial about human fragility and strength. The story of two girls in a city who break into everyday life. The contrast between the fairy world of one’s own intimacy, womanity and the outside world.
Chicago Poems by Carl Sandburg
They tell me you are wicked and I believe them, for I have seen your painted women under the gas lamps luring the farm boys.
And they tell me you are crooked and I answer: Yes, it is true I have seen the gunman kill and go free to kill again.
They tell me you are brutal and my reply is: On the faces of women and children I have seen the marks of wanton hunger.
And having answered so I turn once more to those who sneer at this my city, and I give them back the sneer and say to them:
Come and show me another city with lifted head singing so proud to be alive and coarse and strong and cunning.
Chicago Poems by Carl Sandburg
Claim to fame: This is the book that first dubbed Chicago the City of Big Shoulders.
Excerpt from Chicago
This 1916 collection, written only a few years after Sandburg moved to Chicago from Milwaukee, put him on the literary map. Nearly a century after publication, its blend of plain speech and soulful insight feels relevant today. These short free-verse lyrics drill into the experience of war, immigration, industry and agriculture in a city that was the central hub for everything from American meat production to railroads to the U.S. Postal Service. Despite the grand landscape evoked in the title, these poems are also searingly introspective. Sandburg evokes the feeling of the citizen in public space, at once inside and outside the heart of the city.
