"Sogno i leoni" LEO TENNERIELLO Poesie e Prose Andando a Capo

Leo Tenneriello continues the tour of presentations of his new book "Sogno i leoni" - a work that blends poetry and prose, offering a narrative experience beyond the usual.

On Friday, October 18th, Leo Tenneriello will be stopping in Grottaglie (TA) for the presentation of his latest work, Sogno i leoni, at the Auditorium Santa Maria in Campitelli, via Campitelli, at 6:30 pm. Admission to the event is free.

The event will begin with greetings from Ciro Petrarulo, President of the Uto'pia Association, the organizer of the meeting. In conversation with the author will be Lucia Basile, who will guide the audience through the themes and emotions that emerge from the book. Readings will be done by Gaia Nacci and Gabriella Rodia, artistic director of the association. The event is part of the conclusion of the art exhibition “Una finestra sul mondo”.

Sogno i leoni is a book that challenges and reinterprets the traditional boundaries of narrative. Leo Tenneriello combines poetry and prose in a writing style that he himself defines as "prose with line breaks", a formula that allows him to create a fluid and lyrical text, suspended between story and verses. The carefully chosen words guide the reader on an emotional journey, where each sentence opens a window to the complexity of the human experience.

The work explores universal themes such as alienation, the chaos of modernity, beauty, and love as tools of resistance and refuge. With an introspective and critical gaze, Sogno i leoni invites readers to pause and reflect on the big questions of contemporary life. Social critique, philosophical reflections, and emotions intertwine in a dance that engages both the mind and the heart.

A presentation not to be missed for those who love works that touch deep chords, challenging conventional storytelling and offering moments of intense reflection.
