Bilingual book in English and Italian

The strength and linguistic vibrancy of this work is achieved through its emotional incisiveness and by moulding fresh image from the texture of our universally-shared human experiences. Through simplified character portraits, the poet presents life as an emotional image palette, exemplifying our human traits and idiosyncrasies. Positive social, ethical and environmental values are gently embedded as the author shows us variations of the world through differing perceptual eyes: those building up our inner pictures, and those prodding the outer world of our actions. There is a contemporary relevance in the themes explored, including an emphasis on self-worth and creative potential, as well as our interconnectedness with nature and our social interactions with others.

A declarative and authorial voice is interspersed with distilled moments, softer musings and sensitivity, prompting an awareness of our human emotions and the role they play in our personal development and also as a product of our internal schemes of self-preservation. By evoking a mystical exploration of human feelings and ideas, the reader is invited to reflect upon and to engage in the deeper signification of each poem, and to periodically redefine its relevance on an individual and general/universal level.

Edizione bilingue in inglese e italiano

La forza e la vivacita linguistica di questo lavoro sono ottenute attraverso la sua incisivita emotiva e che plasmano immagini fresche dal tessuto delle nostre esperienze umane universalmente condivise. Attraverso ritratti di personaggi semplificati, il poeta presenta la vita come una tavolozza di immagini emozionali, che esemplificano i nostri tratti umani e le nostre idiosincrasie. I valori sociali, etici ed ambientali positivi sono delicatamente incorporati mentre l'autore ci mostra variazioni del mondo attraverso diversi occhi percettivi: quelli che costruiscono le nostre immagini interiori e quelli che stimolanto il mondo esterno delle nostre azioni. I temi esplorati sono di grande attualita e pongono l'accento sull'autostima e sul potenziale creativo, sull'interconnessione con la natura e sulle interazioni sociali con gli altri.

Una voce dichiarativa e autoriale e intervallata da momenti distillati, riflessioni piu morbide e sensitivita, sollecitando una presa di coscienza delle nostre emozioni umane e del ruolo che esse svolgono nel nostro sviluppo personale e come prodotto dei nostri schemi interni di autoconservazione. Tramite un'esplorazione mistica dei sentimenti e delle idee umane, il lettore e invitato a riflettere e a impegnarsi nel significato piu profondo di ogni poesia e a ridefinirne periodicamente la rilevanza a livello individuale e generale/universale.
