The volume, written by Elisa Ruotolo, is dedicated to the great poet Antonia Pozzi. Illustrations by Pia Valentinis. "With words I entered the world, and the world—I hope—will want to keep me. Like a witness put in irons for too much truth. I love you, poetry, at least as much as I am ashamed of it. And if it's true that we are only hurt by what we truly love, then you will be the arrow in my side: the eternal remorse of not being understood."
