It follows the first volume, <italic>Continuum: Writings on Poetry as Artistic Practice,</italic> reuniting essays written between 2007 and 2015.The title of this new volume could only be <italic>Continuum 2,</italic> given that the underlying concept remains the same: to testify to the seamless continuity of the author’s commitment to poetry and art over the years, and to reaffirm at the same time, on a theoretical level, a model of creation and thinking as a continuous flow, not discretized, not quantized, but organic, liquid, without end or beginning — a kind of linguistic translation of the space-time in which every text, like every other object, is necessarily immersed.<italic>Continuum 2</italic> is a trilingual book, containing writings in English, French, and Italian, and it is particularly focused on two lines of inquiry: the author’s ongoing meditation on poetic practice, and his new investigation into seventeenth-century art, poetry, and forms of thought.
