We share drinks, smiles, and laughs with friends. People come and go throughout our lives, leaving lessons we either learn or live by. This book is exactly that. Life met head-on.

Un uomo scrive lettere al suo amore. E appunti, riflessioni, scoperte. Lei ballerina, lui poeta, condividono un destino, entrambi conoscono la ricerca del ritmo, l'equilibrio nel gesto, la tensione verso la libertà e l'arte come ubbidienza. Un libro composto quasi in trance, un viaggio nella bellezza che incontra pensieri di coreografi, storie tra danza e poesia, riflessioni di filosofi, visioni. Un libro mai scritto prima d'ora sulla danza e la poesia: due arti da sempre sorelle. Ritmo e parole. Aver corpo, in un'epoca che ha fatto del corpo un segno di molti disagi.
