“The Noise is the Message” by Andrea Inglese
for the publisher [dia•foria (Viareggio) & dreamBOOK editore (Pisa), 2023 with a preface by Chiara Portesine
In conversation with the author will be Ugo Fracassa & Simona Menicocci
In the concentration bubble of today’s poetry, the author is the message. In the noise of history, the message is the other. Inglese’s book is an inexhaustible cosmogony of communication, a clumsily Homeric dictionary of conflicting definitions. The message is short, the message is western, the message is pornographic; the message is “not a message of death” but “the message as usual can speak of death.” Irony carves out categories from within, making them empty pumpkins. THE NOISE IS THE MESSAGE to celebrate some anthropocenic Halloween, an apocalypse-party with survivors dressed as words, masks of syllables covering their bodies.
