| Summary | "Homo" by Giovanni Cena is a collection of sonnets written in the early 20th century. The book explores themes related to the human experience, existence, and the interplay between love and mortality. Through its poetic language, it delves into the stages of life and the essence of humanity. The book is structured into various sections that reflect on the lifecycle from birth to death, encompassing love, family, and the gradual approach of old age. Cena employs a mix of philosophical musings and vivid imagery to portray the beauty and tragedy of being human. The poems engage with concepts such as motherhood, brotherhood, and deep emotional bonds while also touching on societal issues and the natural world. Each sonnet resonates with a longing for understanding and connection, ultimately weaving a tapestry of shared human experiences through poignant reflections on life and its ephemeral nature.
