Zairo Ferrante INTERVIEW  , author and curator      by Roby Guerra

Q -Poetry as Making Soul in the computer age?
Poetry like making soul always!!!! Not only today, in the computer age.
It is obvious that, as I wrote in a manifesto of the movement, [...] I believe that, precisely in these "hyper-technological" times, the Soul is fundamental and indispensable for the survival of man; I believe that this Unknown can be the only resource able to help the human being to face and manage in the best possible way the unlimited progress that, otherwise, could mark the end of humanity. And it is precisely in this scenario, in which the Soul and the Consciousness represent the only intrinsic resource of man, that Poetry and the Poets once again have the possibility of rising and elevating themselves to "masters of the human Soul".
Poetry as the vincastro of the Soul in this new and fast age.
Poetry as support and companion of man in this future journey to discover "new worlds, sparkling galaxies and endless universes".

Q- An autobiographical zoom?
A zoom...!?!?!? Let's flash!!!
I am proudly originally from Cilento (Aquara - SA) - to be precise, the same land as Parmenides, Zeno and San Lucido (the latter being a Saint, a fellow citizen and a man of profound philosophical wisdom, so much so that he became personal adviser to Prince Guaimaro) -.
I currently live, just as proudly, in Ferrara (the land of Tasso and Savonarola... just to mention two of them) where I work as a Radiologist.
Four collections of poetry to my credit (even with some awards), several collective anthologies and many friends who accompany me in this beautiful experience ... in short, I have fun like this!!

Q- Dynamism, your personal vision?
My personal vision?!?!
A poetic way to fight the sheep-thought.
The task of Poetry and Art in this digital and fast age must be to force Man to reflect. To look inside oneself. To become aware of one's real needs.
This is for me "dynamism"!!!

Q- How do you imagine the future of poetry?
Honestly, I don't imagine it. I just believe that as long as Man exists (understood as action-thought-soul), Poetry must necessarily exist too. After all, the need to understand oneself is already Poetry itself.

Q - In the e-book of the 10 years of dynamism you have decided to include a writing by the great Girolamo Melis, who has just passed away... What do you want to say about it?
Well yes, it's a writing published on our blog in 2011.
 A way to remember it.
Girolamo Melis... a Man of great culture and, as far as I'm concerned, a Master and a Friend.
He was one of the first to believe in Dynanimism... his "Journal" was our second home. He thinks that he has also included dynamism in an issue of "Style - Voglia d'Italia" (ed. National insert of the newspaper "Il Giornale").
