Thoughts and Poems

This book holds the thoughts and memories of Licia Borgioli, a woman in her seventies with many stories to tell. Indeed, she has lived through Italy's post-war period, economic boom and most recent history.Licia wrote these poems in her old age, in those rare moments when her physical suffering allowed her to.Despite the limited access she had to public education, Licia has always been particularly sensitive and aware of her surroundings. This shines through her writings, composed with simple words that nevertheless clearly convey her feelings throughout different times in her life, with particular references to her loved ones as well as to her beloved piece of Tuscan countryside, where she still resides.The genuine fragments of country life enclosed in her brief verses carry her readers to a simpler - and almost forgotten - era.
