Every creative impulse calls for a particular form. Words and ideas want to be treated with curiosity and openness, they want to be treated like lovers, like clay. It’s a matter of listening to the silence that communicates, of going with the flow, and then offering something back. It’s a continuous process.
Like a heartbeat.
Here’s the result of my own receptive and creative process: here’s my Fiction and Non-Fiction work.
We are the result of a literary production that came before us, of a cultural heritage. We are also part of a community, we write with others, in dialogue with our times. Anthologies offer the possibility to celebrate we’re not alone, to explore the current that brought us here, to navigate that current and to celebrate with other authors a common search. They provide the opportunity to explore possible creative streams, learn different perspectives on a particular topic, and become the navigation itself.
Here are the collections I have edited: the result of the Poetic Jamming (co-editions) readings, and my own quest for understanding the Beautiful and the Sublime.
Literary collaborations offer the possibility to share with others a common ground, to create and offer a collective landscape: to manifest a shared perspective on the things of the world. Particular subjects and preoccupations, the celebration of a cultural heritage, the exploration of a particular literary genre, they are all good reasons to create and also to be part of an anthology.
These are the collections I’ve been invited to participate in, as a poet, as an essayist, and as a story-teller.
