Paolo Loffredo, sixth generation of a large family of publishers and booksellers engaged in the production and distribution of books since the late nineteenth century, creates in 2012 the new editorial company Paolo Loffredo Editore.

Meditazioni silenti

This second collection of poems confirms the disposition of spirit that is already grasped in the previous one, with reflections on the facts of life, one's own and of everyone; on the difficult trial to which existence subjects feelings; on unfulfilled hopes; on the dreams of youth shipwrecked in the vast sea of ​​ruthless reality; on the memories to keep as a constituent asset of themselves. As well, there is no lack of naturalistic observations and penetrating notations of various humanity, capable of representing a severe moral codification of the personal and social values ​​that Emilia elects as a superior spiritual guarantee for the qualitative tension of each person. 
A poetry, therefore, nostalgic, commemorative, but always alive in the author's scale of feelings, a poem that touches topics of eternal actuality, those that belong to the essential and vital nature of the human being. 
Now the language becomes more pressing, without ever abandoning lightness, gentleness, breath, whisper; a spell suspended in the return of words reflecting very deep and tenuous emotions, of words that flow on the page in streams, in rivulets, sometimes in a cascade, free of metric and axonant clusters, so that they spread out in short liberating cadences of a thought tense and moved, but always monitored and directed.
