"Poeta eclettico pittore e saggista ha dedicato gran parte della sua vita alla ricerca di formule inedite scritte visive e sonore per l’uso della parola. [...]. Attratto nel vortice del “gioco della poesia” ha lasciato la sua impronta per decenni sui diversi sentieri della sperimentazione letteraria e artistica a partire dagli anni più irrequieti e fecondi della Neoavanguardia. Fra il 1966 e il 1967 ha organizzato insieme con Arrigo Lora Totino e Adriano Spatola le prime grandi mostre di poesia concrea in Italia a Castelfranco Veneto Trieste e Modena." - Maurizio Spatola, "Franco Verdi"
