Alta Storia\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/b\u003e \u003ci\u003e(by Sara Ferro W.)\u003c\/i\u003e blathers about history as if it knew it inside out, and as if from a divinatory hindsight-among afterthoughts, forward accelerations, and daring yet tightly controlled overtakes. From behind dietrologia and back again. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA classical story, very postwar, very much before the new one. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIt is a \u003cb\u003ebilingual\u003c\/b\u003e \u003cb\u003epoetry collection\u003c\/b\u003e that originated in \u003cb\u003eEnglish\u003c\/b\u003e from speculations triggered in \u003cb\u003eItalian\u003c\/b\u003e, based on inputs drawn from cultural topoi taken from the clouds of pop archetypes and from secret archives revealed only within it-be among the first to read them... \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eSpeculative poetry mirrored in metaverses that rhyme synchronically with synchronicity, that is, in a translation (en\/it) that rebounds parabolically between opposite foci, firing blanks in a peaceful whispering gallery. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eA transposition of the narrative genre of uchronia into lyric form: the classical literature of alternate history-alternated and alternatively alternative-is summoned back to life by titles that speak for themselves, whether Cat and Mouse and Dog Years by G�nther Grass, The Waste Land by T. S. Eliot, Infinite Jest by D. F. Wallace, The Plot Against America and Everyman by Philip Roth, The Man in the High Castle by Philip K. Dick-perhaps the same man as The Man Who Sold the World by Bowie and Nirvana, gnostically split between truth and deception. Death Can Dance, Genesis, The Doors, The Animals, Joy Division, children's lullabies and Cold War matters, A Clockwork Orange and The Matrix recall Only God Forgives by N. W. Refn and Indiana Jones, while series such as Orange Is the New Black and The X-Files explode in Dolby Surround on a screen before which Fathers of Sociology, intellectuals such as Pier Paolo Pasolini, pioneers like Carl Gustav Jung, popularly occult figures like Dion Fortune, and magi such as Zoroaster make cameo appearances among the audience. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe repertoire is straight out of Breakfast of Champions. Indeed-rather yes than no-lowbrow, it winks at the highbrow, but only just enough for mutual understanding. Provided we remain semi-serious, yes indeed. Camp without being queer, yet equally devoted to lateral, divergent, impertinent thinking. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003ePoetry that runs in superimposition and imprints itself like a catchy refrain. It puts a flea in your ear, like a secret agent with his bug. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTexts like esoteric advertisements, an advertising-poetic manifesto, where copywriting becomes a philosophical jingle, moving through verbiage beyond verbiage and becoming song. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e- - - - - - - - - - - - \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ci\u003e\u003cb\u003e\"Alt Hist!
