Yari Bernasconi
La casa vuota

Yari Bernasconi’s La casa vuota is the mature work of an author whose language and imaginative world are already renowned in contemporary Italian poetry. Tradition (twentieth century texts by such writers as Giorgio Orelli, which Bernasconi, from Ticino, has closely analysed) overlaps here with an exploration of ever-mutable reality and a mobile geography marked by traces of personal experience and history, producing a book in perfect stylistic equilibrium.
