[New-Poetry] Excellence

[Anny Ballardini]

Yes. Asymmetry is one of the best connotations, which is opposed to
classical perfection (Giotto). A projected recognition that might show a
breakthrough into worlds other than repetitive stillness - the complex they
might be, a going beyond mathematical logic, not without asserting its
monumental stability. Digressions needed to break into new and bigger
classical orders to reach another tangential rupture, schizophrenic
ornament, unusual color, something that does not belong to, to get to an
even greater and unimagined order, .... and so on
and on.
