Each Second Is the Last is the verse that Elisabetta Maria Novello (Vicenza, 1974) borrowed from Emily Dickinson as the title for her work, presented here. At the base of Novello's poetics is a research on time and on the transformations generated by it.
Focusing on what is often ignored, the interest of Maria Elisabetta Novello is to search the territory by rearranging fragments that retain traces of infinite temporality; ash, coal, dust enter her works, as metaphorical images of the transience of memory in the present.
