A poet engaged since the 1980ies in a progressive constant reseach of "aggregation-disgregation of the word, to recreate different realities in writing, in visual poetry and in sound poetry. Almost all her poetry production takes the form of visual components and appears to be aimed at sound development for performance and recording. She has very often composed wisual scores as leading tracks for the performance.
In parallel her research extended in the visual field to find an expression with more material elements on bases of canvas and paper. She produced many object books and took part enthusiastically in many operations of Mail art and international visual poetry and has contributed to Italian and foreign magazines.
Born at Ferrara on 16th July 1949 she died in August 1997 in Australia.
