Marco Buzzi Maresca's 'Prolegomeni per un massacro' Explored in Critical Essay

Marco Buzzi Maresca's avant-garde poetry collection, 'Prolegomeni per un massacro', is critically examined in a piece on Segnonline. This analysis connects his work to Louis-Ferdinand Céline’s 'Bagatelle pour un massacre' from 1937. It describes his poetry as a unique blend of basic themes and contemporary societal issues, using distorted language and broken forms to create a sense of disorientation. The critique highlights four major literary influences: Carlo Emilio Gadda's doubts about simple cause-and-effect, Edoardo Sanguineti's multilingual techniques, Lautréamont's disintegration methods, and Stéphane Mallarmé's challenge against Nothingness. It also touches on civil poetry figures like Ilaria Alpi and Anna Politkovskaja, noting their death dates. The anthology's six complex sections are emphasized, ending with a comparison to decadents like Baudelaire and a character from Géricault's 'Raft of the Medusa', dated 'Culla delle Nereidi, 23 dicembre 2025'.
