Synopsis

Where language becomes music, and poetry becomes an exploration of itself.

Poems with Rhyming Parts experiments with rhythm, rhyme, multilingual expression, and poetic form to examine how language shapes memory, identity, love, loss, and the search for meaning. Moving from intimate lyrical reflections to expansive philosophical syllogies, the collection treats words not merely as tools of expression but as subjects of inquiry in their own right.

At the heart of the volume stands “Pastiche,” an ambitious multilingual post-structuralist meditation revisiting more than two hundred earlier poems and weaving them into a new reflection on creativity and the evolution of a lifelong poetic project. Alongside it stand the syllogies “Ducenti” and “Poem with Rhyming Parts,” musical sequences, and shorter poems blending philosophy, mythology, and psychology.

For readers of philosophical poetry, experimental literature, multilingual poetry, and contemporary literary verse.
