Come Sylvia Plath, Marina Ivanovna Cvetaeva, Wislawa Szymborska. Patrizia Valduga non è tra le grandi poete del nostro secolo, ma tra le più grandi mai esistite. Incontrarla è trovarsi di fronte la poesia incarnata. Un’incognita. Una sfinge. Un’icona regale....

«How are children considered and approached by the institutions responsible for protecting and educating them? What frameworks surround children, and how can we redefine these frameworks, adjusting them to fit the worlds that children invent for themselves in order...
