Glamour was my starting point to write the book of poems "Here". In fact, this is a term I quite often pay attention to, and while I have tried to recognise its real meaning, in most cases, it is related to fashion and cinema. Nevertheless, I would say it is more than that; both men and women can have glamour, as well as objects, places and a living being. With regards to people, glamour is something inborn, to make use of your own potentiality, being loyal to yourself. There is no need for being pretty. Glamour is a lifestyle, it is personal branding.

So, in reading this book, you will find pieces for the skin and the soul: Poems to wear.
