The work

Born in different languages in the span of nearly a decade, transposed (not translated!) in the other three languages, the Ballads to Bury a Rifle are poems to recite and chant, tales of war, oppression and liberation, of hunger for bread and peace, misunderstood identity, uprooting and privileges, and heroes without a rifle. From If You Knew, winner of the Gramsci Prize for Sardinian poetry in 2006, to the Ballad to Bury a Rifle, secular prayer with a Mediterranean backdrop, through stark and poignant His Healing Hands, devious Servants, technological Surrender, hypocritical Florelatívide, patriotic Identity and aristocratic Cradle Destinies.
