Sometimes, a poem arrives unannounced. The poet stumbles upon it. The poet doesn’t know how to contain it – or doesn’t want to. Dives in it. Allows the words to arrive. Enjoys the luck of being alive. And flies. Volatile is a collection of free-verse poems about nature, alive and enchanting.  Fields, beaches, and nights are displayed here with unique brushstrokes.

This book presents the fascinating world of the classics through thirty aphorisms that have lasted through the ages, accompanied by evocative illustrations inspired by the Mediterranean landscape. Faced with the temptations of greed, envy, laziness, and pride, the ancient Greeks and Romans championed self-knowledge, effort, honesty, accepting one’s limits, the will to learn, hope and true friendship. The author, having devoted his professional life to guiding teenagers into the thought and beauty of the ancient world, answers questions of our time and invites us to cultivate the best of human nature.

Have you ever wondered what clouds are made of? What do they look like? What do they taste like? How do they change shape? Why do they break up? This collection of poems invites us to take a contemplative look at nature and marvel at the changing forms of all that we find in the sky and on the earth. Black, white or bright-colored clouds. Clouds of leaves, of flowers, of fruits, of wheat, of starlings, of fish. And clouds of thoughts or silences.

Flowers are wondrous beings, rooted in the earth and pointing to the sky. They burst forth in meadows and mountains, in lakes and ponds, in forests and jungles, on tree branches and roadsides, in the sand and in the desert. Each one is inextricably linked to a specific place, a particular type of soil and climate that has shaped its personality and made it what it is. When they blossom, they create a unique landscape saturated with white, yellow, orange, red, pink, purple, blue…. If we stop for a few moments to contemplate them, we realize that they are one of nature’s most delicate and surprising gifts, a mirror in which we can find ourselves and rediscover who we are. Each flower is a work of art, a miracle, a prodigy of life’s intelligence; each flower fills the world with beauty! With illustrations that capture the essence of each landscape and each blossom, this book is a journey through the colors and extraordinary characteristics of thirty very special flowers from around the world.
