Summary/Abstract: Blask, a poem published in 2018, is dedicated to the memory of a beloved and lost woman known as Eurydice or the Absent. Her person, inner characteristic, scenes from a shared life, snatches of recollections and dreams, in which she returns, and particular signs of her presence, pursued by the narrator – Orpheus, bind together this work, rich in contents and differentiated form. A sui generis philosophical reflection with a varied poetic form. A description of the widely comprehended path followed by Orpheus searching for his deceased wife Eurydice, and himself – lost, alone, and rebellious in the face of a decree of fate.
