Colloqui

Colloqui

by Guido Gustavo Gozzano

“I Colloqui” by Guido Gozzano is a collection of poems that explores themes of disillusionment, lost youth, and the search for meaning in a world that feels increasingly meaningless. The poems are characterized by their ironic tone, their melancholic mood, and their use of symbolism to convey complex emotions. The collection is divided into three sections: “The Youthful Error,” “At the Threshold,” and “The Veteran,” each of which explores a different stage of life and the challenges of navigating a changing world. Gozzano's poems are often seen as a reflection of the anxieties and uncertainties of his time, but they also offer a timeless meditation on the nature of human experience.
