A story of friendship, poetry, and nature that explores the necessary metamorphosis that affects every living being in search of truth.
The late poet Pierluigi Cappello was paralyzed from the waist down after a motorcycle accident on his sixteenth birthday. Through an unlikely friendship, the author reflects on the intolerance of human diversity.
“The years of our friendship were, for me, years of great freedom. The freedom to be who I am,” writes Sanna Tamaro to Pierluigi Capello, the poet who passed away in 2017, honoring a promise they had made before illness separated them: to write a book together. This is a delicate and profound work that retraces the brief yet intense years of their friendship, as well as the harshness of adolescence and the cruelty inflicted upon those who are different, upon sensitive souls, and upon those who refuse to yield to the banality of evil. It is a story about love and the capacity for change.
