"In my writing I am acting as a map maker, an explorer of psychic areas…a cosmonaut of inner space, and I see no point in exploring areas that have already been thoroughly surveyed."

Washington, 11 ott. - (Adnkronos) - A 160 anni dalla sua morte, lo scrittore statunitense Edgar Allan Poe avra’ infine i funerali che un autore della sua statura avrebbe gia’ meritato subito dopo la sua morte avvenuta nel 1849. Oggi a Baltimora, dove l’autore de ”Il Corvo” trascorse l’ultima fase della sua vita, saranno organizzati dei solenni funerali, degni di una delle figure piu’ importanti della letteratura americana, inventore del racconto poliziesco e del giallo psicologico.

Call it Sabbatical
I’ve been to London, then to the seaside in Italy, now i’m leaving again for India.
I’m going to find myself, lose some weight, rediscover a friendship, forget some other, erase last drosses, close chapters, open new ones, put distances, change perspectives, reach a balance, face fears of what i know and what i don’t, sort out who i am where i am where i’m aiming to, regain energies desires motivations trust etc etc etc.
Or maybe, nothing of this at all.
Because in truth, the nice thing of this journey is that, not knowing what to expect, i don’t have expetations - apart from just seing India.
And in all this, i’m only certain of this: that this journey comes at the right moment.
I’ll be reading you again after middle september.
In the meanwhile, enjoy your words!
