Glazner Gives Talk at the Poetry Therapy, International Festival in Monza, Italy 11/29/25

Thrilled to have recited “I need feelings” by Alda Merini, in Italian. Thanks to Mille Gru-PoesiaPresente and organizers Viviana Russo, Simona Cesana, and Dome Bulfaro!

I Need Feelings

I do not need money.
I need feelings,
words, words wisely chosen,
flowers called thoughts,
roses called presences,
dreams that inhabit the trees,
songs that make statues dance,
stars that murmur in lovers’ ears.
I need poetry,
this magic that burns away the heaviness of words.
which awakens emotions and gives new colors
-Alda Merini
