"Poetry looks for the center from which its and every other emanation spring, to which the being wishes to surrender without more pulsing-or thinking. In this surrender, in this becoming spontaneous as a gift from an unknown elsewhere I believe resides the authenticity of the poetic word, that, rejoining with an elementary heart, conquers the body of the vision and breathes its whole and definitive sense." So writes the author in his introductory note. At the core of his writing the theme is the deep vision which human thought generates inside and opens up in the multiple form of becoming: The memory flowed into beauty, the azure glimpsed through thick detection, the garden of becoming blossomed in the center of being, absolute rose that I fail to sing, melancholy bleeding into a dull river-against the God that wants me in time, flash of a starry flower, point immensely dilating vanishing into constellations I create a spirit of stone, an eternal sunshine slumbering on my heart. Maurizio Cucchi has regarded Borghi as "poet of original personality, whose poetic work provides the interaction between visionary energy and force of thought." In agreement with Cucchi, Giampiero Neri has remarked on the scientific beauty of Borghi's prose, compared to Galilei's and Majorana's writing: "You have precisely that spark of light, which is yours and your unmistakable grace."
