His first ebook won the 3rd place in Sharp Writ Book Awards contest 2011 (category: poetry). Residing in Cividale, Italy, with his wife, Russian haijin Valeria Simonova-Cecon. He finds his inspiration in memories, travels, and the everyday life…

The Children Sense A Depressing Uncertainty...

After the lament and the full reckoning with horror of No.5, 6 and 7, this section totally changes the mood. It gives way to a profound solitude. It is voiced by a solitary piano, playing a simple four-part prelude— distant from present events, distant from our time. Its sound harks back to the Baroque era, as if echoing from a world long past.
