  • 7 ~ Cursed Poet! Dino Campana
    Jun 25 2024
    Though NOT the idiot described in “Brief Lives of Idiots” by Ermanno Cavazzoni, Dino Campana became an subject of fascination when I read the segment, “The Poet Dino Campana”—wherein a university student coasts through every oral exam by mentioning that he comes from the same town as the poet—thereby distracting every professor into long discussions of the beloved Campana! And oh, what a cursed poet, our dear Campana! Let us dive into the mesmerizing visionary verse and tortured life of Italy’s treasured poet, Dino Campana! Poetry Prompt for 10-sided dice: Poetic Mood = Smoky Summer Evening Poetic Word(s) = Rotting Smell Go ahead!
