While I always feel in your thoughts because the thrill
of desire pervades me constantly
as an inexorable divinity who demands devotion
unconditional from all of myself.
From my first cry I wait for you,
Carneanima of my Carneanima,
to finally appease
the lacerating emptiness of the lack of myself.
(from the book Anima Gemella)

Universal Interiorism Literary Movement
Universal Interiorism is a literary movement, exquisitely poetic, which was born in the 21st century in Sicily, notoriously the land of poetry, under the impulse of Irene Catarella, Professor, Jungian counselor, journalist, naturopath, Bible scholar and fine poetess of love, voice of the persecuted and promoter of humanity.
It is a hybrid poetic representation, we could say oxymoronic, in other words a negation in terms: a concept and its opposite are placed side by side. On the one hand, Interiorism with its need to travel towards the self, towards that clot of feelings that is ours alone, on the other hand universality, that is, that centrifugal drive that leads to dilating the boundaries of one's self and extending them both towards the other, both also towards an ailleurs who has the scent of magic.
The ultimate goal is to create and disseminate poetry texts, defined as the language of excellence of the web, using neologisms consisting of compound words, as an elective communication tool for an elective community of users, all strictly preceded by the hashtag #. #Parolebraccia I began to write to communicate to the world the #sognomessage of my #corpoanima to give my #brothers & sisters those #brothers' words where you can snuggle up safe from the # din of the world and from the # rivalries and envy that pollute our #beessence
