Two days ago the hackberries of my street were all bald. Today they have little leaves of newborn green, and I feel a strange joy imagining that all of them have stretched at the same time, just when I was not watching. Nature always surprises me.

And celebrations are much better together: next week I am going to Belfast to participate at the Festival of Storytelling in 8 Languages, in the frame of a research project at Queens’ University of Belfast.

11/03/2018 - blog
The more I deepen in the work of the poet Carles Fages de Climent, the more synchronicities I discover. Lately he made me travel to the forest of my infancy through one of his poems: you can read a little article I wrote about it here (in Catalan). Next Wednesday I propose you a new trip: a storytelling session inspired and accompanied by the poems and landscapes of Carles Fages de Climent. And the Latvian kokle also will join the party, so there will be stories, music, poems… and a mystery to be solved. Wednesday 14th March from 20 to 21h Ballad of the enchanted ...
