I would like to remember my grandmother Novella Torregiani Grilli
(1935-2015) with one of her many and multi awarded poems (English
translation follows):
CANTA UOMO
Canta uomo
finche' alito empie la voce:
dal cuore all'azzurro
eleva il tuo poema.
Canta il pensiero che supera l'immenso
prima che giunga
silenzio.
SING MAN
Sing man
until breath fills the voice:
from the heart to the blue
lift up your poem.
Sing the thought that goes beyond the immense
before silence arrives.
More of her poems (Italian only) here.
