Project

During my stay in Faber I will work on several chapters of a work around a very literary and personal perception of several species of birds, as a formula towards the exploration of my pain and disconcert in the face of the destruction of biodiversity. The aspiration of this text, still in the process of maturing, will be to go through the passages that this pain excavates in my gaze and in my conception of many things.

In addition, of course, I hope to take advantage of the opportunity to talk, contrast ideas and establish links with those of us who will be meeting during these days around the literature of nature. And to identify, through our exchange of views, new landscapes for my writing.
