Writing is rooted in my life and person. My work as a writer goes back some 30 decades. I have written, I write, and I will continue to write, as long as life allows me, by a vital impulse (what Bergson called "élan"), a spiritual quest, an existential disposition. It is the answer to an expressive, exploratory and knowledge need. In the field of creation I have dedicated myself to poetry and essays; in the academic field, to literary and cultural research in general.

Jose is also part of our Curatorial Team with an arduous social curatorial job of leaving his sensitive appreciations in Arts-related articles. We have full confidence in José and his selection criteria as he himself is a great artist.

in this refuge of ours
And escape
like him
through the illuminated air
of the Ruined City
