Antonia Pozzi: "La poesia dell’anima" (The Poetry of the Soul)

Abstract

The poetry of Antonia Pozzi, who committed suicide at the age of 26 years, is the poetry of the soul, which is discovered and suffers the interior conflict between art and life. Death, constant element in her verses, is evoked as a chance for peace. By analyzing this issue, I will attempt an understanding through the thought of authors such as María Zambrano and Simone Weil.
