Magic words

Sometimes we remain breathless in front of the birthday cake, paralized by the importance of the moment.

Hands are for cheering and for caressing. Hands can be happy or thoughtful. Hands can dance and can cook. Hands are meant for playing, working, stealing, even doing nothing at all.

Acerbo sarai tu is a new poetry collection by Silvia Vecchini, beautifully illustrated by Francesco Chiacchio.

Nature can be friend or enemy, it can be mysterious, overwhelming or frightening but, in any way, it’s something we can’t avoid questioning and invoking, as we are made of it too.

In any little thing, although unnoticed, there’s a secret life made of mysterious happenings, unknown languages and whispered stories.
