- THE IDEA BEHIND THE "SILENT MAN, A POEM"


For the past weeks, while Maria is working on her book project "Finding Eidothea", I have been working on a first draft & mockup for a book I am writing and will put together with a great artist who is going to do the illustrations.

The book is called "Silent Man,A Poem".Is the poetry diary of a girl who met the same man at his 40's, his 30's and his 80's.

The exploration of how love makes us weaker and stronger.

The dynamic forces between a mysterious Single Man and a Girl.
The creative forces between a boy who is trying to become a Man and a girl who is trying to become a Woman.
The dry memories of a man who had 5 unsuccessful marriages but shares a love of wisdom with a Girl.

In Reality
The 40 year old Silent Man is in Japan. I cant wait to show him the mockup.

The 30 year old Silent Man made his first dream come true and is starting a great career as an artist.I cant wait to be the silent viewer of who he is becoming and love him from afar.

The 80 year old Silent Man is home alone. I cant wait to visit him tonight after work and have a beer with him.
