A mí, en el fondo, me faltan cosas que no deberían importar,
poltronas desparejadas, puertas pintadas, una mesita con el ron,
la sensación de que haya quedado justo allí
una palabra que había perdido
y que seguro no encontraré mañana.
- Silvio Mignano
“In the end, each poem is an artifact that preserves a marked formal imprint: a kaleidoscopic game, paradoxically very unified. These are poems truly carved in time as if they were pieces of music.”
- Igor Barreto
“The originality and power of Mignano's new poetic work consist, precisely, in not leaving readers any grasping point; they are forced to make a considerable intellectual effort to follow the poet's volutes. And is that not exactly what we ask of good literature?”
- Claudio Giovanardi
