ritratto di B.G.Tiozzo In this site you can read
part of the poems I have written since when I was just over
30 years old After being very sick, I decided not to write
any newspaper article anymore. I hence went back to what I
was passionate for in my adolescence, writing verses, which
is in my opinion the most concise yet passional way to speak
to the world and myself.
I am known to the TV audience as the ‘poet of the daily
news’, for having written one poem per day live on TV
for ten months (on the program UnoMattina
– RaiUno at 7.40 am between 2003-2004). The poems were
about the very simple topics discussed everyday on the show:
fruit, vegetables, shopping, people, life stories.
My experience as author and producer at RAI has lead me to
travel around the world a lot. As a consequence, I have faced
many different topics, and I have collected opinions and feelings
from both leaders and common people.
Therein my versatility as a writer: I am very curious and
I like facing our times, ranging from international to everyday
events, from civil consciousness to feelings, from spirituality
to sexuality.
Over the last years I have worked with many figurative artists
and I have written many texts for ballet performances. I have
also tried to break the link between poetry and academia,
in order to bring poetry closer to the normal people so to
transform it into a mean of communicating which encourages
self reflection.
I think I have achieved some innovative results:
- In Italy I am the first (and only!) poet of the daily TV
news, and also the one who received the largest audience (almost
2 million people every day, with a share of more than 30%)..-
I am the first poet- commentator on a daily national newspaper:
from July 2001 to January 2003 I have published a poem every
day on the front page of “Il popolo”. Each nine-
line poem was about one piece of daily news. A selection of
the poems has been collected in the book “Il_quotidiano_in_versi”
(MiliaPlus, Roma 2003).
- Forty of the ninety intimate stories of women comprising
the book “Mi_svelo_ma_in_animo_nuda”
have been read by as many famous actresses in a series of
evening theatre events. The show on the 22 of December 2003
has been a six hour long “marathon of poetry”
read by thirty six different voices.
Thanks to my experience as a TV communicator I write in a
language also apt to verbal communication, for its reality,
rhythm and speed.. My works are therefore easily adaptable
to public readings and have in fact often been transformed
in shows, to which actors, singers, musicians, dancers and
figurative artists have participated. The titles of these
shows appear on the page “Cartellone”.
The most recent poems are on the page Novità; lager
compositions are in the page Libri.
Reviews by other writers are under Lettere_dagli_amici.
