From the maker

In the same month in which we celebrated World Poetry Day, Spring once again delighted us with its incredible freshness and this issue began to take shape. A fortunate coincidence perhaps, but one which would encourage us to embrace this issue with a new Spring radiance, confident that poetry would provide the perfect starting point for this creative foray. In this heterogeneous edition, full of unique languages and universes, rather than simply seeking a shared ‘formula’ or aesthetic, we were moved by its powerful ability to encourage us to dream, common to all these projects.

Enveloped by this particularly inspiring poetic aura, we now invite you to discover an extensive repertory that is distin- guished either by a perfect articulation of rhythms or melodies, or by virtue of its craftsmanship. Stories that reveal a remark- able subtlety in the composition of all their details, forgoing formal or even rational criteria, with their only leitmotiv being their striking ability to awaken beauty per se – be it in chaos or emptiness, in noise or silence, in balance or imperfection.
