WHAT IS POETRY
Ulisses Belleigoli, Maria Bitarello, Lawrence Ferlinghetti
Os aforismas sobre poesia desta parte da apresentação nasceram de uma brincadeira. Um dos Tongue Twisters, Ulisses Belleigoli, ganhou de presente o livro What is poetry, de Lawrence Ferlinghetti. Quem lhe enviou a obra foi a escritora Maria Bitarello, que a comprou diretamente na City Lights Bookstore.
Ulisses, inspirado por Ferlinghetti, decidiu escrever também seus aforismas sobre poesia. Logo depois, Maria entrou no jogo.
Abaixo, os aforismas escolhidos para a apresentação. Se quiser saber mais sobre esse projeto (ainda em construção) e até mesmo participar dele, siga-o no Instagram.
