Book synopsis
Rapapolvo is an excellent choice for those looking for poetry that challenges linguistic conventions with a critical and reflective look at the world. The unique structure of the work centered on words beginning with the letter ‘R’ and the critical and innovative approach to language not only challenge the reader to think differently, but also add a layer of thematic cohesion to the poetic collection. An essential book for all who appreciate linguistic innovation and experimentation with poetic form, and for lovers of contemporary poetry who enjoy social criticism and the exploration of profound themes through a distinctive literary style. Furthermore, those interested in poetry that invites reflection and introspection on the injustices and realities of life will find the book of fifty Rs a provocative and stimulating read.
