The poem symbol of the fight against Covid, entitled "I was lost", by the poet nurse Maria Teresa Chechile, returns to the place where it was born: it will be posted at the entrance to the pneumology department of the Carlo Urbani Hospital in Jesi, where the nurse worked in those days where he still serves.
The verses were written in the midst of the pandemic, on March 26, 2020, on a spring day "with deafening silence, between fears and anxieties", recalls Chechile.
The work was very successful and was also awarded the Alda Merini Award from the Accademiadei Bronzi of Catanzaro.
"'I was lost' - explains the nurse-poet - is there to evoke and recall that time and the emotions that went through the pandemic period. Four years after Covid, the poem, after having traveled the length and breadth of Italy and having been represented in a mural at the Pesaro hospital, she returns to where she was born, recovering the feelings and emotions of the first moment, closing with the hope that opens up to the world. That rebirth which is given by the human capacity to find solutions to the innumerable problems, not only social but and above all to care of the body and care of the soul".
The poem is included in the book "The leaves do not fall maiuguali" awarded in Montecitorio with a bronze medal and published by Albatros.
