Publisher: Marick Press – Detroit, 2010

«Il volume offre al lettore nordamericano una selezione delle poesie del direttore della Manifattura Torino Poesia da quattro differenti opere: dal poema Il molosso, dalle raccolte edite Il respiro della terra e Historias de Malo Amor, inediti da L’uomo Radice. Traduzione a cura di Francesco Levato, executive director del Poetry Center di Chicago. Il volume è pubblicato dalla casa editrice Marick Press di Grosse Pointe Farm, Detroit. Il volume sarà presentato durante una tournée che si svolgerà nel mese di aprile 2010 toccando le seguenti città: New York, Minneapolis, St. Paul, Chicago, Grosse Pointe Farm, San Diego, Santa Crux» Il giornale italiano di Detroit

«Fratus’ poetry explores what it means to be a young Italian poet today in the shadow of historical, cultural, and traditional forces» Francesco Levato – The Poetry Center of Chicago

«In his writing, Fratus is guided by an uncommon urgency and unconditional faith in poetry; his writing doesn’t hold back on its energy» Antonello Borra – University of Vermont

«Francesco Levato’s translation into English of Tiziano Fratus’ collection Creaturing is stunning in its seemingly effortless and lyrically precise momentum. There is no question, this is an important collection and a most impressive and accomplished translation» Malena Mörling – University of North Carolina

«Tiziano Fratus is a storyteller, and a very compassionate one at that. His books, although structured as collections of poems, have the narrative interest and scale of novels. He has an uncanny, instinctive way of entering other lives, and this is what gives his writing its amazing detail» Mani Rao – University of Nevada

«Creaturing by Tiziano Fratus is the book of a citizen who is able to look at history through its abstractions and details and find music where others saw propaganda, find humanity where others saw statistics, find remembering alive and afire, among things too many of us are ready to forget […] This is the poet who can look at documents and see music that tells the truth, a poet who know that “death is born from the vocabulary from the syntax from the breath.” Tiziano Fratus is a public poet, a man unafraid of speaking in a full voice of a grown up, something we in the USA often shy away from […] But what strikes me most about this book is how humane it is, how interested in human moments, details of our existence, its pains and its laughs […] America needs this voice that tells the truth without patronizing and does so in a lyric that is memorable and sparkling. That this lyric is available to us now in English in beautiful translation is a cause for celebration» Ilya Kaminsky – San Diego State University / Poetry International / Web del Sol

«The book’s title, Creaturing, begets further irony as we come to see humanity itself as a kind of creature that engages in all sorts of vile behavior while actual animals, by contrast, are rendered as potentially noble beings» Paul Martinez Pompa – Big Bridge

«Le cinquantotto poesie delle nuove voci poetiche presentate nel volume non sono, dopotutto, così differenti, visto le differenze linguistiche e storico culturali. Gli editori, il singaporese Alvin Pang e l’italiano Tiziano Fratus, sono entrambi affermati poeti. Hanno selezionato innanzitutto lavori corti e personali, poesie che rispecchiamo un mondo interiore piuttosto che esteriore […] dimostra una volta ancora che gli esseri umani sono esseri umani ovunque, con le stesse speranze, paure e aspirazioni […] Non risulta sorprendente, per una raccolta di opere composte da giovani scrittori, che le poesie ruotino intorno i piacere e il dolore dell’amore e della carne, etero o omosessuale […] Double Skin è un contributo alla collaborazione culturale globale – prova che un bicchiere di Valpolicella e un piatto di riso al pollo possono essere una buona idea, dopotutto» David Fedo – «Quarterly Literary Review Singapore», volume 8, Ottobre 2009

Excerpt by Diego Bentivegna’s note: «Come l’ultimo Pasolini, la poesia di Tiziano Fratus è una poesia di “brutti versi” e di “mancanza di stile”. E’, al contempo, una poesia che manifesta la sua condizione di letteratura di coinvolgimento, di poesia civile: una poesia che non vuole restare come un oggetto refrattario in relazione alla realtà. […] Si tratta di una letteratura della pura sperimentazione, un gesto di nuova avanguardia che intende conciliare l’arte e la vita. Si tratta, piuttosto, di pensare le forme dell’intensità poetica baciate dalla liricità, o per lo meno contraddistinte per una liricità alternativa. I suoi testi sono forme in cui la voce si presenta come una voce decentrata, come la voce della donna-uomo che Fratus tesse, appropriandosi di elementi del discorso teologico-politico-cronachistico intorno alla “questione palestinese”, nelle sue poesie del recente Una stanza a Gerusalemme […] In questo lavoro nell’immanente e la variabilità dei desideri, in questo lavoro nei meccanismi interattivi della generazione della parola poetica, risiede la forza, anche politica, delle sperimentazioni poetiche di Fratus»

A INQUISICAO
(poema) Tiziano Fratus
Translations: Letizia Russo and Pedro Marques
Publisher: Artistas Unidos (Lisbona, 2005)

«Bisogna dire che si tratta di una poesia della dismisura, composta da accumulazioni progressive e stratificazioni geologiche, una successione di gironi che si allargano sempre più e abbracciano virtualmente tutte le cose. E’ una scrittura onnivora, determinata a ingoiare il mondo intero (questo mondo sconvolto nel quale viviamo), una ricerca di senso di una qualche verità, dentro ciò che è reale e proiezioni che vanno illuminando, quando non mutilando, il corpo sempre precario del poeta […] La poesia di Tiziano Fratus non fugge dal vortice tanto meno dal caos, piuttosto ricerca il centro geometrico del nostro mal di vivere contemporaneo. E da là che ci lancia il suo guardare periscopico: ora dolce, ora disperato. E’ da là che reinvesta tutte le storie possibili, con i più semplici degli strumenti: una finestra spalancata attraverso i suoni e le immagini che salgono dalla strada; una immaginazione accesa; i sensi all’erta. Il resto è talento, istinto, ritmo e vertigine» José Mario Silva – Diario de Noticias, Lisboa
