Flowers and poetry

Flowers and Poetry Poets celebrate life, nature and its processes. I am attracted to flowers, their perfection, their beauty and their transience. Photographing them gives me serenity and allows me to observe them, covering a lot about the greatness and creativity of nature. I love poetry in the same way, this obsolete art for some, captures me and drags me into the greatness of life. Many years ago I started reading poems and setting myself in the studio to photograph a flower, first on the poems of Emily Dickinson then those Whitman, Ungaretti, Dante, Leopardi, Pascoli Neruda and all the poets I have read and read, ancient and contemporary. An exercise in beauty and an education in life.
