Per Amica Silentia Lunae

A lyrical meditation opens this collection, where the poet writes to a close friend about a summer afternoon in Calvados, a wandering Persian cat, and the fleeting moments that stir his deepest convictions. The prologue feels like a private notebook, a mixture of affectionate reminiscence and a restless urge to capture thoughts that keep returning like a whispered refrain. From that intimate letter the work flows into a series of verses that explore the nature of imagination, the tension between creator and creation, and the ever‑present search for an “anti‑self” that might reveal hidden truths.

The poems blend rich mythic allusions—Dante, Michael Robartes, and the timeless image of a lamp burning beside an open book—with vivid natural scenes of moonlit sands and restless streams. Their tone is both contemplative and playful, inviting listeners to follow the poet’s wandering mind as it questions art, identity, and the delicate balance between yearning and fulfillment. The result is a thoughtful, resonant journey that feels both personal and universal, perfect for a quiet listening hour.
