Navigating Silences: Poems of Memory, Matter, and Becoming

By Lorena Ulpiani

"I love because I am love."

In Navigating Silences, poetry becomes a field of transformation-where identity loosens, memory reshapes itself, and language moves toward what cannot fully be said.

This collection unfolds across four interconnected movements, each exploring a different dimension of human and existential experience.

I. Civil Shadows confronts the fractures of the contemporary world: migration, loss, exploitation, and the silent weight of collective indifference. These poems speak with clarity and restraint, revealing the human cost beneath global narratives.

II. Inner Tides turns inward, tracing emotional landscapes shaped by love, absence, and the fragile persistence of memory. Here, the voice becomes more intimate, navigating grief, tenderness, and the quiet transformations that redefine identity.

III. Cosmic Identities expands beyond the personal, entering a space where matter, energy, and consciousness intertwine. Time dissolves, the self becomes fluid, and existence is reimagined as vibration, rhythm, and passage:
"You are your own non-being. / There is beauty / all around."

IV. Resonance gathers what remains. The voice returns to a grounded awareness-clearer, quieter, yet more essential. Reflection replaces intensity, and meaning emerges not as certainty, but as presence:
"I waited so long for an answer / that I forgot myself..."

Throughout the collection, language moves between simplicity and vision, between the concrete and the metaphysical. The poems do not seek to explain, but to open-inviting the reader into spaces of perception where silence itself becomes a form of knowledge.

Rooted in both poetic and visual practice, the work carries a strong sensory dimension, where color, matter, and movement shape the emotional and symbolic landscape of the text
