Domenico Pisana wins Città di Arcore 2025 literary prize
Domenico Pisana's poetry collection, "L'esilio della notte" (The Exile of the Night), has been awarded the "Città di Arcore 2025" literary prize. The work is described as an existential and spiritual journey that explores the boundaries between light and darkness, the human and the divine.
The collection follows a coherent poetic path, beginning with the section "Punto di osservazione," where the poet offers a critical view of a reality where truth struggles to breathe. The poetry is characterized as "suspended," transforming words into a form of secular prayer rather than simple description or narration.
Central to the work is the persistent search for truth in contrast to falsehood. Pisana uses evocative imagery to diagnose a modern era where substance is often mistaken for emptiness and truth remains elusive.
