My impression is that he's a thoroughbred poet. While writing from the front he doesn't linger of fears of death or dismay at the countless people laid dead before him, but he tries to search out the little moments of beauty that are created by the war. The children hugging a soldiers legs, a wounded dog being cared for by a wounded soldier. These small moments of humanity are the reason he fights.

Pic related is a poem he dedicates to the Italian people at the beginning of the book.
