Her work attracts me purely as sound, but also for the intensity of its imagery with surprising juxtapositions of matter and feelings, mysterious ambiguities, and its evocation of the “raw aroma” of nature.

La voce e i versi della Dagnino sono parte essenziale

di un ardente e radicale percorso di improvvisazione.

The voice and the verses of  Dagnino are

 an essential part of an ardent and radical path

of improvisation.
Marco Buttafuoco, L'UNITA', ottobre 2012

 

Le sue poesie, i suoi dischi di parole e suoni, i suoi reading, sollecitano

 un’ immersione a 360 gradi nell’arte senza confini.
Her poems, her cds of words and sounds, and her readings stimulate a 360 
degree immersion in the art with no borders.
Gaetano Menna, Altrescene, Marzo 2013

 

Il dettato della Dagnino trasborda continuamente alla ricerca di legami, di metamorfosi,

di seminagioni originali e proteiformi, assolutamente ribelli ad ogni costrizione,

ad ogni fissazione, ad ogni sintassi. 

The wording of  Dagnino tranships always looking for links, metamorphosis,

absolutely rebellious to each constraint to each setting, to each syntax.

Giuliano Ladolfi, Atelierpoesia, 2010 

 

Versi di progressiva implosione interiore, di ricercato inaridimento

Verses of  progressive implosion interior, sophisticated drying up ...

 Stefano Bigazzi, La Repubblica , Genova 2008

 

Flusso di sensazioni alla ricerca disperata  di un “io” consistente

Flow of sensations desperately seeking a consistent "I"

 Guido Festinese, Alias, Il Manifesto 2007  

 

Un senso musicale forte

A strong musical sense

Luca Bandirali, Cinema.it, 2007
