Fabrizio Frosini

The Chinese Gardens Fabrizio Frosini

" In Frosini's Poetry: 1. The Truth is Affirmed; 2. Beauty is Conveyed; 3. The Personal becomes the Universal. One of the key terms in contemporary poetry is 'POETRY OF WITNESS'. "Florence, A Walk With A View" is an excellent example of this type of poem. It exchanges the anger we experienced in the preceding poem with melancholy, but this is a haunted and desperate melancholy, not at all like the word's root meaning of sweet sorrow. Heinz Czechowski survived the World War II fire-bombing of Dresden, which killed 20,000 people. That is why Frosini refers to him as "The poet of the Death from the sky above Dresden." Czechowski probably wanted as much as any visitor to Florence to lavish all his attention on the art and architecture of this ultimate Renaissance city. In Fabrizio Frosini
