Description
Rare first edition of this collection of fragments in verse and prose. Francesco Meriano (1896-1934), a very precocious poet (the first collection published with critical interest dates back to 1914), joined the Futurist movement in 1916: the publication at the Futurist Poetry Editions of the collection “Night Equator. Free words". The correspondence with Tristan Tzara, founder of the Dadaist movement, dates back to the same years. At the outbreak of the war Meriano took an interventionist position but, due to serious health problems, he was reformed. Our volume represents his last literary publication. Founder of the first combat beam of Romagna in 1919, Meriano joined the fascist movement by embarking on a journalistic and political career: a parliamentarian, a diplomat, he died in Kabul as plenipotentiary minister in those territories.
