Anonymous of the Tower: A Global Enigma

 Throughout 2025, a singular cultural phenomenon began to manifest. In various corners of the globe, self-published, staple-bound booklets appeared, bearing the title Exposition of the Signs of the Times and signed under the mysterious pseudonym Anonymous of the Tower. This phenomenon persisted into early 2026, and every indication suggests it is something destined to endure.

These brochures have been discovered primarily in libraries, universities, and public spaces hosting cultural events. The booklet contains poems structured in rhyming couplets, possessing a prophetic and apocalyptic flavor, as hinted by the evangelical resonance of the title. The fact that these pamphlets have surfaced in disparate locations suggests an organized group disseminating a message that readers are invited to decipher.


The cover depicts the Tower of Babel, a choice that naturally invites conspiracy theories. Expressions such as "Brothers of the three points" further fuel speculation regarding links between the booklet and secret societies. A reference to an "unexpected sickness hidden in Chinese boxes" evokes conspiratorial narratives of induced pandemics, leading to a generalized mistrust that the text describes as "the breath of a tuberculosis case" marking the end of days. The warning regarding "nerve gas emanating from the new discourse" seems an enigmatic reference to modern forms of communication.


Furthermore, as the verses speak of a "Church that is not for you" and "globalist sanctuaries," the work may assume either a religious connotation or a nihilistic existential one. The texts describe "parodic rites" and "impure prayers," suggestive of messages from a religious sect. Within the poems, there is also mention of a "demon’s murmur in the ear"—perhaps a metaphor for the social media echo chamber, where words of "infinite sweetness" mask a glacial void. Finally, a reference to a "Messiah who will make us all equal" points toward authoritarian or amoral drifts.

The text concludes with the classic apocalyptic admonition:

"He who has ears to hear, let him hear…"


Self-fulfilling prophecies?

Literary divertissement?

A pamphlet intended for the properly Initiated?

Messages from a secret society?

Reflexions on the Future of Contemporary Poetry

Can the Muse Sing Again? Poetry, as is well known, has now been the Cinderella of literature for several decades. The art of verse is essentially alien to the mindset of the contemporary reader, and poetry books have a completely negligible impact on the book market. Apparently, therefore, poetry seems confined to a narrow circle of insiders, or to a crowd of reckless amateurs who believe they are poets simply because they occasionally break lines when they write… But there are also those who wonder whether alternative horizons might exist for what was once the queen of literary expression. Among the voices proposing new ways of approaching the public, Ivan Pozzoni stands out for his originality. He has drafted an “Anti-Manifesto” of the “Neon-avant-garde” that offers plenty of stimuli for those who aspire to speak to the audience through renewed expressive modes. The key points of Pozzoni’s Manifesto are the following: – challenging nomadic capitalisms and multinational authorities...

The Two Faces of Tolstoy

  Tolstoy: The Genius of War and Peace and the Moralist "Mess" Post- Anna Karenina ___________________________________ Leo Tolstoy is a writer whose greatness needs no introduction. The human condition is painted with extraordinary depth and power in War and Peace (1867). Contrary to what our contemporary image of Tolstoy might suggest, War and Peace is not a pacifist manifesto at all. The idle Russian bourgeoisie, immersed in balls, philosophical discussions, and socialites, is incapable of perceiving the gravity of the Napoleonic invasion; only the defeat and the horror of Austerlitz awaken the protagonists' humanity, allowing them to understand the meaning of existence (both individual and collective) in a Russia threatened by destruction. It is in this confrontation with necessity that Tolstoy is a genius: Napoleon is not an imaginary tyrant, but a man of flesh and blood; Russia is not a mere stage, it is life, it is the motherland. War is not a game, it i...
