Working Notes, Giovanna Sandri:
Not experimentation with new techniques, but complete adherence of the word to the images in which the tesserae/ nuclei cross the white space of poetry. . . .The materials are presented graphically so as to enhance their fragmentary nature, or in varied open forms so that the sign/word can couple with the sign/form (black poem over white poem). The English version is often a mirror image of the Italian text.
