Against The Light

To read Broggiato, is to discover his devotion to the act of writing poetry that is intense, vibrant and lit from within; where the words resonate with our modern sensibility, where behind the words lies an immense pity for the human condition. His is an awareness that however imperfect our perceptions and senses are, our imaginations have freedom within the constraints of those imperfections, both latent and ever-vigilant, as in the lines: 'searching for the moon/ through the iron grill of the gate'.
