Nei versi di Milo De Angelis la città e la natura si incontrano in uno spazio liminare dai tratti mitici. Cortili, parchi, campi sportivi, navigli, fiumi e laghetti si caricano di significati metaforici e metafisici e l'acqua della città si trasforma in un oceano che la circonda e le fornisce un'aura leggendaria. L'attaccamento del poeta all'acqua rispecchia la sete metan'sica del genere umano, l'istinto primordiale di essere riuniti con l'“altro” da sé che dà origine alla sua mitologia personale. Questo saggio offre un'analisi della poesia di De Angelis in una cornice ecocritico-fenomenologica ed esamina i significati di cui si caricano i suoi luoghi (specialmente quelli acquatici) mentre si avventura nei territori dell'alterità e dell'aldilà.
