MOTIVATION FOR PUBLIO VIRGILIO MARONE FIRST PRIZE AWARD FOR CONTEMPORARY POETRY
“Characterized by a clear and elegant style which avoids any artificial virtuosity, the collection Coffee Stains on My Books transports the reader-listener into a kind of immersive journey through emotions, feelings, intimate experiences, and memories.
Against a backdrop dotted with traditional places and hypermodern contexts, natural landscapes and urban environments, tangible objects and rarefied atmospheres, Stefania Lucchetti offers an original reinterpretation of mythological figures – one capable of delving deeply into their essence, reimagining and updating their symbolism, and provocatively overturning their forms and meanings.
An interesting experiment in poetic metissage, in the blending of languages, registers, and imaginaries, it reaffirms a dynamic and vital idea of poetry: not as a mere intellectual or rhetorical exercise, but as a gaze turned toward concrete, everyday reality – an urgent existential need, a privileged instrument of reflection and self-analysis.”
MOTIVATION FOR PREMIO SENATO ACCADEMIA
In this collection, the author has skillfully transformed everyday imperfection into a poetic trace, offering a profoundly human experience in which the intimacy of a simple gesture — a coffee stain — becomes a universal symbol of awareness. Through her verses, she masterfully depicts domestic imagery and existential reflections, giving voice to a passionate and feminine sensibility that unites fragility and strength, nostalgia and rebirth.
