About this ebook
"The Ulysses Butterfly La farfalla di Ulisse" è una raccolta poetica in inglese e in italiano che racconta la storia di una donna che riscopre se stessa e la sua forza interiore fino ad imparare a volare.Nella narrazione si alternano vicende liete e momenti di sconforto, abbandoni ma anche sogni e dolci ricordi che colorano di tenerezza i vuoti del presente. Sullo sfondo l'amore grande dei genitori a cui è dedicata la raccolta e in particolare quello di una moglie per lo sposo perso troppo presto e mai sopito e di madre generosa ed esemplare.“Poesie per perdersi alla ricerca di qualcosa di indefinito circondati da fantasmi che popolano le nostre vite. L'autrice nelle sue rime esprime l'illusione ben vissuta di una vita onirica che sfugge la banale realtà. È un'anima che si risveglia nella scrittura, mettendo in luce intime passioni, sogni ad occhi aperti; la conferma che non c'è modo migliore per sfuggire alla normalità che la poesia", dalla Prefazione del giornalista Mario Azzolini.

Poetry has knocked on my door and I finally have a face.
La Poesia ha bussato alla mia porta e ho finalmente un volto.
Foreward
A Nobel Prize to an old poet comforts us and challenges those who no longer believe in the noble art.
We still need and want poems, which is why the author of this collection wrote them, because of a need and want. She writes to express the pain of the absence of a father never met, in a dialogue from afar with a father who had left before making himself known to her. And of the relationship with her mother, the expression of a filial and at once maternal love; the daughter needed her mother and now the mother needs her daughter’s reciprocated love.
In the text we find poems for loves dreamed, recalled places, and past memories to hold onto against oblivion. A long and convoluted path where some get lost in order to find their way back, looking for someone or something that can fill the void of an existence surrounded by a vexing loneliness, gladly and without fear.
There is some sort of complacency in the pain of a lost happiness for which there is a contradictory and unappeased thirst. Surrounded by ghosts haunting our lives, poems allow us to lose ourselves in search of something indefinite.
In her verses, the author expresses the illusion, well lived, of an oneiric life escaping banal reality. It is a soul
