"I’ve read my whole poetry book in front of the camera and than cut all the poetry out. Now, when only starting and ending sounds are left, I can barely recognize what was what. What if it is how this poetry (and not only this) will be perceived in some far far future: some echoes and leftovers of today’s life? No, it doesn’t have to be about the loosing of something. I believe that new words will arrive and the future reader will no more have a feeling that there are no place in the literature for their personality or ways of living. That is where I think and hope the language goes." states the author.
The project is part of the subtheme Re-imagining identity through poetry, Cultural Resilience - Literature as a force for social justice.
