Poetry

Writing has always been part of my artistic experience, I have been writing poems for more than five years, but, since I moved here, my way of writing changed. I think this comes from the extreme change of my previous habits. I feel I am growing up. My poetry is mainly free verse. My inspiration comes from Beat Generation’s artists. In particular, I have been fascinated by “Howls” (Allen Ginsberg) and by “On the Road” (Jack Kerouac). Another source of inspiration is Whitman’s “Leaves of Grass”. Little by little, I have tried to develop my own style of composing based on these artists’ rejection of standard narrative techniques and their love for freedom. In order to present my poetry I decided to create simple illustrations related, to the poem, using Adobe Illustrator.
