Far from the idyllic image of the city, the poem portrays a hostile and expanding environment, where Carla survives as a young woman and worker. This work, a pioneer of the Gruppo 63, breaks with traditional poetry by merging poetic language with cinema, advertising, and mass media, offering a critical reflection on capitalism and patriarchy from an innovative ethical and formal commitment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book tells the story of Carla Dondi, a girl living in the Milanese periphery of the fifties, an urban space in the midst of transformation and far from tourist postcards. Through a narrative in verse that was originally a screenplay, Pagliarani explores Carla's daily survival in a working-class context, where being a young woman adds layers of vulnerability and resistance. The work not only tells her story but also experiments with language, incorporating fragments of mass culture, advertising, and other genres to question the power structures of capitalism and patriarchy. It is a text that is constantly fractured and renewed, engaging in a dialogue with the social and political reality of its time.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain Themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eWorking-class life in the Italian postwar urban periphery.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eThe condition of the young woman in a hostile social and work environment.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eCriticism of capitalism and patriarchy from an avant-garde perspective.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFormal and linguistic experimentation, merging poetry with cinema, advertising, and media.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eDaily survival as an act of resistance against oppressive structures.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in experimental and avant-garde poetry, as well as those looking for a work that transcends genre boundaries to address social and political issues.
