Interviews: from my interview for WhipArt Magazine. About the #TerminalRealism.
” (…) Certainly poetry is not a very popular however, I note with great pleasure that the new generations are starting to approach the Muses through numerous cultural initiatives: various readings, Slam Poetry, unconventional meetings, events in schools, fairs of book, Open Mic, outdoor performances, etc. Returning to the speech about the Terminal Realism: this movement arouses great curiosity, understanding and desire to experiment among young people.

In Terminal Realism, life is no longer the same as the usual four seasons, but changes like the shots in a short film, flows quickly and is always unpredictable.
