publication · 2026-04-05

Poet Rossella Tempesta has released a new collection titled 'L'intero senso,' which functions as a poetic journal spanning approximately twenty years of her writing career. The work includes both previously published poems and new compositions, structured as a personal anthology that traces her creative evolution. Tempesta dedicates the book to her readers and to her own creative process, with themes exploring emotional experiences ranging from sadness to joy. The collection references her childhood in Puglia and Naples, as well as other cities she has visited, and includes reflections on her role as a mother to her children Francesco, Salvatore, and Sofia. The volume features a preface by philosopher and poet Carlo Di Legge, who titles his introduction 'La metafisica di Rossella Tempesta.' The article, written by Antonia De Francesco for MIfacciodiCultura, describes the work as having qualities of a literary testament while remaining open to future possibilities.
