"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".

"Se questo è un uomo" di Levi.

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.

Don't believe a word of Meloni's speech. It was propaganda & lies. Yesterday protests in Italian cities against Decreto sicurezza, that limits our freedom. No word on Albania project failure, to begin with: money that cld go in helthcare & education.

The truth is paralysing. But after JD Vance met the far-right leader Alice Weidel in Germany, it is time to be clear about what we are seeing, writes Zoe Williams

It feels scary in Italian too.
So many have written to me today about this poem in the last few days (here in @londonreview.bsky.social )(also in my book To 2040) that I thought I’d post it.

Thank you for returning it to my attention. I wrote it two years ago. It already felt scary then…
