Milo De Angelis

Milo De Angelis’s poems inhabit the fracture between lived time and its retrospective construction, where memory, loss, and the instability of identity expose the failure of language to secure experience against disappearance. Through landscapes emptied of concealment and dialogues suspended between intimacy and estrangement, they articulate a poetics of historical belatedness in which the subject confronts the irreversibility of what has been lost, while the possibility of beginning again emerges from the precarious remainder of existence itself.
