of These Latowicki (Solomon Belforte Editore)
At three in the morning I looked
for the whole bed, I looked
between tiles,
I looked under the mat
until the staircase light is extinguished.
These Latowicki , 32, was born and lives in Tel Aviv.
a degree in Hebrew literature at Ben Gurion airport to Jerusalem where he now is a researcher, was the guest last September at the Literature Festival of Mantua.
His verses have already been published on the web, particularly on the site Shireshet periodicals, literary, and included in anthologies. Translated into English, Polish and Italian, appear in the collection " Strong as death is love ", also present in these pages, also published by Belforte and curated by Sara Ferrari, who has also translated This first collection of poems by the young Israeli poet.
Camera Obscura is a small volume, which contained 16 poems are characterized by extreme immediacy, sometimes poignant shots that reveal unexpected and daring, and ruthless with photographic clarity, those recurring elements in the verses, and in life, the poet, the earth, love, conflict, and loneliness. With his poetry, simple and direct, she is able split into frames of reality and crystallize it in words, transforming them into scenes of great emotional force. The love theme, always manifests itself detached from emotion, and human experience becomes pure, instinctive, primal, complementary to the suffering and anguish.
With regard to the difficult political situation in Israel, the poet, as often happens at home, transforms his poems in a medium of protest, the strong showing of hardship people faced with a conflict to which she obliged and infinite, almost with horror, he realizes to be accustomed, and face, where it is most probable, the dark manipulation of the Holocaust in which a policy is not properly correct, sometimes arrives.
The body, the first star of the poetry of such, reveals more and more restless in its nature and fragile, full of suffering and passion, and the beautiful and dramatic backdrop of Tel Aviv city paints a cold, hard, unclean and chaotic, but perhaps for this reason love.
