Il frammento come luce dell'emozione in Donato Valli

Donato Valli identifies in the "fragment" the typical composition of the twentieth century thanks to his studies on hermeticism and in the awareness that the 20th century has been dramatically characterized by two world wars and profound transformations. And for Valli it becomes essential in the brevity of the fragment the emotion that the poet perceives and that he manages to transmit to the reader. This explains his militant critique, his attention to seeing in contemporary poetry the light of emotion. Therefore put aside all ideological prejudice, Valli understands poetry as not reserved for a select few, but destined to reveal itself in all those who feel a real emotion. Hence his decades-long investigation without any foreclosure, an investigation that allows Donato Valli to be not only the historian, but indeed the founder of Salentine literature.
