LIKE A FISH THAT LIVES IN THE FUND: Poetry by Sandro Zanotto
Sitting next to a tiller, to look after, you can carefully observe the banks open. Although not wanting to, you follow a track without curbstones that follow behind these waters, rotting and still, always. When the eye does not look at the banks, is a face that rises from the depths stomach, like a fish that lives at the bottom …

A FAR AWAY DAY, IN JUNE: Memories of trip to Venice
It was a day in June, the beginning of the summer of 1999. That’s for sure.
