Description
I confess that I had a long time to feel this kind of poetic power, drawn from a fertile poetic world, to uncover fears and secret thoughts.
It is the kind of poetry with a multitude of fears with poetic nobility, a meeting of souls, which has risen to the highest point of melodicity and expressiveness. These poems manage to give the deepest of human essence and, to make you feel the vertigo of everyday life.

It was cathartic, though I never had the courage to share what I wrote, let alone attempt to publish my work. I wouldn't claim to be a poet, or a writer, however, 20 years on I feel ready to share. My hope is that these poems, written while I was still a teenager, will inspire as well as be understood...
