MATTEO MANTOVANI

My poems are titled Blankness, Fresh Air, and My Mess, 2021. The pieces are inspired by many things, but the most prominent being the effect that isolation or a lot of time with yourself can have on your mental health, behavior, and internal dialogue. “Blankness” is a cautionary text about the sublime potential of “nothing” and the invisible power it holds, whereas “Fresh Air and “My Mess” are commentaries about more day-to-day issues such as lapses in motivation and self-tenure caused by isolation.
