Milano, zona vecchia Fiera campionaria, meta anni Settanta. Linagibile scantinato di un elettrauto si trasforma in una cantina, o in un salotto, o in un circolo anche se rettangolare o forse in unosteria, in un dopolavoro per disoccupati, in una biblioteca, in un presidio di resistenza umana. Insomma, in un rugby club. Lunico rugby club al mondo che disputa esclusivamente il terzo tempo. Un terzo tempo rituale o anarchico, organizzato o improvvisato, ripetuto migliaia di volte nella cantina di Gabriele Cabrio detto Lele, elettrauto ovale in tutti i sensi. Qui ognuno dice liberamente la sua, narrazioni e battute, avverbi e proverbi, storie e geografie, uninsalata russa, un fritto misto, una macedonia esotica. E qui per quarantanni giungono giocatori da tutta Italia, perfino alcuni All Blacks, un giorno si presenta Eddy Merckx, una sera Diego Abatantuono. E tutti insieme a mangiare e bere, guardare la Coppa del mondo e il TriNations, ascoltare Miles Davis e Fabio Treves. E il rugby come religione e filosofia, come scusa e alibi, come missione e ambasciata, come eredita.Con la postfazione di Giorgio Terruzzi.

"When will I wake up and listen?"This is the question posed by the lyrical narrator in one of the poems contained in this book. All of the poems in this volume deal with this question to a greater or lesser extent. What is the happiness that so many people seek? Where can it be found? Is the very fact of asking this question already a hint at finding it? Because perhaps the only thing we need is a different perspective on the things we deal with every day.I hope that these poems will be a source of inspiration for you, inviting a touch of magic into your everyday life and experiences! And so I would like to leave you with this: "With love, Cathi"
