"Siamo scesi, ci hanno fatto entrare in una camera vasta e nuda, debolmente riscaldata. Che sete abbiamo! .. Questo è l'inferno.. la nostra lingua manca di parole per esprimere questa offesa..siamo arrivati al fondo...condizione umana più misera non c'è".

I would not pass any interview for trying to get into a U.S. University. I am wondering how to reach those students who like me will flunk the litmus test of admission to our new fascist state. My ( eventual) new book of poems is for them.
