well, they crossed the door,
they looked inside,
some of them gave and got a big hug.
(some visited us for the second time, which means hugs were absolutely welcomed)
they brought along tea time
and a great wind all the way from the united kingdom.
their british-scottish bubble was so powerful and cheerful
that between the words and their bodies
if you paied close attention
you could have seen
the queen her self,
james bond dressed as sean connery
winnie the pooh
and some fish and chips wrapped with yesterday’s newspaper.
words flew around
were written and rewritten
always black on white
each one of the writers with her own hand writing
signing her personal voice
in transparent and light phrases.
they wrote water, they wrote people, they wrote the past and they captured moments,
poured flesh and bones of their own into their strong and delicate texts.
and we were there
near by
listening to their poets music.
it was with no doubt a delightful week.
thank you strong, beautiful, independent women.
Bè, hanno attraversato la porta, hanno guardato dentro, ci siamo abbracciati (qualcuna era qui per la seconda volta, e i loro abbracci erano ancora più graditi).
Hanno portato con sé il “tea time” e un grande vento di Gran Bretagna.
L’atmosfera inglese-scozzese era così forte e lieta che tra le parole e i corpi, prestando molta attenzione, si poteva riconoscere la regina in persona, James Bond travestito da Sean Connery, Winnie the Pooh e del fish and chips incartato nel giornale del giorno prima.
Le parole scorrevano intorno, venivano scritte e riscritte, sempre nero su bianco.
Ognuna delle scrittrici con la propria calligrafia, firmando la propria voce in frasi leggere e trasparenti.
Hanno scritto acqua, hanno scritto persone, hanno scritto il passato e catturato momenti, riversando la propria carne e le proprie ossa nei loro testi forti e delicati.
E noi eravamo lì, vicino, ascoltando la musica dei poeti.
E’ stata senza dubbio una settimana deliziosa.
Grazie a voi, forti, bellissime e indipendenti donne.
