Giancarlo Nino Locatelli: A Decent Run
by Mark Corroto
Who needs poetry in an age of internet memes, infinite scrolling and artificial intelligence? Poems ask us to linger over words, to discover meaning in silence as much as in language. Memes, by contrast, are consumed in an instant and forgotten just as quickly. We live in a culture that increasingly prizes immediacy over reflection, image ...
