History of a Present
The poetry collection History of a Present reads like the diary of an imagined Mediterranean summer. It is the logbook of a maritime journey across an archipelago governed by the sweeping winds of memory, nostalgia, and desire, as well as the quest for a deeper self. A voyage of self-discovery through the gaze and the body of the "other," and through the fragments of a landscape that is simultaneously our own and a foreign land.
