Quadro di Domenico Paladino

Ti riveli nel tramonto quando le foglie
si chiudono nel giallocupo
degli occhi del gatto e all’alba svanisci

I grew up loving thick, meaty hot pots of chili that were so filling and flavorful I was satisfied for hours after eating. I also grew up eating quick meals that came together easily.

GOOD GRAMMAR DOES NOT A WRITER MAKE.

“But I can’t like, be a real writer, I suck at grammar.”

I’ve heard that way too many times. Yes, grammar is definetely an important part of writing (especially in a finished product), but that’s all it is, one part. As an early

I begin Elena Ferrante's novels with a mixture of fascination and dread. Fascination, because everything I've read by her has gripped me.
