The Garden of Robin Redbreast Act II

The Garden of Robin redbreast an anthology with the most significant poems and some new elegies written by Eugenio Farina was published in 1997. The Garden of Robin redbreast Act II integrates even more the first book, because it includes more recent pieces of poetry.
The main themes the poet deals with are the one dear to him; the melody of memory, the cosmic love, not only for the woman loved, loneliness, despair and death. This theme of death, in particular, is very relevant in his last publication “Waiting for the Awakening of the Wind” and dominates some of the poems, for example, the Omen of Death “…how much I want a black drape and that everything will disappear to hide nowhere”. We can figure out that “love and death follow and weave each other in a sort of garland of flowers and thorns” as Fraud used to say.
Memories of the past and people that were part of that symbolize the fragility of the poet and cause pain deep in his soul leaving visible scars.
“MORIENDI INSATIATUS AMOR” ( insatiable love for death ) by Gabriele D’Annunzio.
Eugenio Farina joins realistic and symbolic motif and creates a tragic-ironic register that can co-exist in a same word or in a same sentence.
“Deceits
days that begin defeated…”
“When the images fade
in the vortex of delicate scents
and the recall of senses
is a vast expanse of autumnal leaves
… the thought stagnates in anterooms with no doors…”
The use of language sometimes can be considered a kind of transgression to express freedom and in the meanwhile the reversal of some language rules that give an unusual meaning to the words has a purification power. So when we read a poem by Eugenio Farina we understand that words are not used as neutral elements but they assume the double nature of the person who manipulates them. Some vocables have a double potential as the feelings those words need to describe.
Idealism, spiritual beauty, inspiration, imagination and lyricism represent the energy generated by the analysis of the deepest nook of our heart. A fatal, multifarious and explosive energy.
