My Pen

…I answer…  The pen on paper has like a sound that accompanies the words, presents them, offers them and engages them in the fixity of a gaze that alone understands their meaning. I am not writing for the hype or success, but because there is nothing else I can do to follow up on the care and attention for history and stories, reflection and reflections, the … Continua a leggere My Pen
