Published in 2011 by the publishing house Nuovi Autori in the series I Poeti.

The 72-page volume is a collection of verses/poetic impressions in a trilingual edition (Italian, English, and Spanish).

Main themes

Sweet/bitter contrast: the title “Sugar, salt of life” immediately suggests the idea that life contains sweet (sugar) and salty/bitter elements (salt) — positive and difficult experiences, joys and struggles.
Universal and everyday: the poems seem to capture moments of everyday life — small gestures, sensations, memories — and turn them into universal reflections.
Multilingualism and openness: by presenting the texts in three languages, the author aims to broaden the audience and make his personal experience accessible to all.

Style and tone

The style is essential, meditative, often evocative: not long narrative digressions, but rather “fragments” of thought or poetic moments. The tone is intimate, inviting the reader to reflect on the hidden value of simple things and on the beauty that can emerge even from pain or hardship.

Why read it

For those who love poetry that speaks to both everyday life and deeper emotions.
For those who want to “bring into focus” the moment, the feeling: the title itself suggests that life contains different flavors, and recognizing them is part of living.
For those looking for a short book that can be read multiple times, perhaps savored with each reading.
