Patrizia Cavalli (Todi, 17 aprile 1947 – Roma, 21 giugno 2022) è stata una poetessa e scrittrice italiana. Si è distinta fin dagli anni Settanta per una poesia molto legata all’ esperienza personale, a partire dal primo volume di versi Le mie poesie non cambieranno il mondo (1974), dedicato a Elsa Morante. Infatti è proprio la scrittrice romana, che Patrizia ha occasione di conoscere durante gli studi di filosofia, a scoprire in lei la vocazione per la poesia.

Seguono altre raccolte di successo: Il cielo (1981), Poesie 1974-1992 (1992), L’io singolare proprio mio (1992), Sempre aperto teatro (1999) con cui vince il Premio Letterario Viareggio-Repaci, e Pigre divinità e pigra sorte (2006), vincitore del Premio Dessì. L’ultima raccolta è Datu ...more

Quotes by Patrizia Cavalli (?)

“How sweet it was yesterday imagining I was a tree!
I had almost rooted in one place
And grew in sovereign slowness there.
I took the breeze and the north wind,
Caresses, blows-what difference did it make?
I was neither joy nor torment to myself,
I couldn’t detach myself from my own center,
No decisions, no movement:
If I moved it was because of the wind.”
― Patrizia Cavalli, My Poems Won't Change the World: Selected Poems

“Very simple love that believes in words,
since I cannot do what I want to do,
can neither hug nor kiss you,
my pleasure lies in my words
and when I can I speak to you of love.”

“Cosa non devo fare
per togliermi di torno
la mia nemica mente:
ostilità perenne
alla felice colpa di esser quel che sono,
il mio felice niente.”
― Patrizia Cavalli, Vita meravigliosa
