We read magazines…search the WEB…read text books…look at advertising posters…see papers.. see.. pictures…
We go in houses.. see paintings.. pictures.. and cinema images shown on television..
We go to the office…and see more pictures…
And words everywhere…and poems in our memories.. poems in songs.. poems told in sad and happy moments…
Words…images.. sounds.. that bring us messages… ideas.. feelings and emotions..
Our ideas colour too.. our memories become musical… and our thoughts become slowly poems, too…images..
And everything melt.. as in multimedia documents.. authors try to reach a single expression in a multitude of colours, drawings, figures, sounds and words…
Slowly culture comes…poems culture go out words.. go out imagined melodies… faces real sounds..
Poetry reading has always been compared to voice.. and rituality of public readers…
So multimedia in poetry reading… yesterday, today and tomorrow… so new pieces…multimedia pieces…made of words, sounds and pictures that melt in harmonious and coherent dialogues…
As it happens in an orchestra, where players make notes talking to each other in a multimedia document.. images and sounds talk to each other .. at times in single.. at times in duets.. at times in trio.. new challenges for human intelligence.. new multimedia notes that involve the composer in challenges and thought adventures .. new spaces for creativity and imagination..
Imagination that gives music and shape to texts….and texts to images..
Here it comes multimedia poetry.. with no tradition…
Young poems as young as their authors. .in high and even primary schools… where multimedia perception is fresh  and genuine… perhaps primordial..
Lots of schools have been following that in these last few years… attracted by the extension of poetry .. multimedia unity.. multimedia story..

So poetry…unity.. single document.. to live without acting.. without interacting physically… to live only by listening… multimedia listening…silent and motionless… in respect of the flow of ideas spreaded by the document itself.. it’s hidden waiting to be discovered again. .in a multitude that includes all the poetry of texts, sounds and images.. but that is searching the deepest part of the soul.. new unities.. new points in multimedia space… new multimedia texts…to write operas never  seen yet…but that we’re going to see soon…
