La «cosa» poesia. In margine all’epistolario Anceschi-Zanzotto

The essay aims to compare and interpret some information taken from the analysis of the 22 letters selected from the correspondence between Luciano Anceschi and Andrea Zanzotto in the decade 1975 - 1983 and published here for the first time. The examination of these documents attests to a convergence of interests and reflections regarding the function assumed in the second half of the twentieth century by the act of writing, to which both intellectuals attribute the meaning of a "doing", and by poetry, which they consider as a " material" thing, a living "soma".
