Gabriele
Micozzi

Gabriele Micozzi is an Italian writer, based between the Marche region and Rome. For over twenty-five years, he has navigated companies, boards, and business schools as a consultant and educator. From this observation of power and its languages comes a body of work that moves along four axes: the daily demons of systemic horror, where the horror is never supernatural but grows within perfectly functioning procedures, contracts, and algorithms; a civil, social, and ecological poetry; an experimental fiction that makes the form itself the monster; and an essayistic research on the concept of power. He has developed his own poetics, Literary Biodiversity.

«I didn't choose systemic horror: I found myself in it. Twenty years of meetings where I saw the word person empty out while the word KPI filled with everything. I started writing to understand where I had ended up — and to give a name back to what the system counted without seeing.»

In a landscape that often separates commitment from form, and genre from literature, I work to hold them together. Horror is not a container: it is a lens. Poetry is not a refuge: it is a lockpick.

A single voice crosses many ecosystems — the corporate report and the elegy for the Earth — with the same question: what happens when a perfectly functioning structure encounters what it cannot optimize? Almost always, it destroys it. That is the side I write from.

This is my Literary Biodiversity: the plurality of languages as a stance.
