empty pages
Alongside his musical activity, he published the book of poems “Empty Pages”, which has as its cover a drawing he did in pencil. A brief description of its contents follows:
“A getaway and a quest, in a universe - that of writing - in which every word has its own meaning. An introspective journey in order to find clarity, to translate into a structured language the infinite abstraction of which human thought is capable. Empty Pages is all of these things, a collection of thoughts and reflections on what in one way or another has shaped me, a collection of events seen from the perspective of my own eyes, a stream of deep feelings experienced on my own skin, a glimpse into a world that I often struggle to understand.”
The book is available for purchase on Amazon.
