Respiro: Metropolitan Haiku (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9798992080902)

An illustrated volume of haiku in English and Italian for all who live the city and its relation with nature, tradition, and the self.

"By breathing, we are able to see the truth and beauty of life, even in the midst of metropolitan chaos and the speed of modernity. This sentiment resonates deeply throughout the collection, as Simon transforms the urban rhythm of Shenzhen into a poetic canvas, in search of "truth and beauty".
- Prof. Zhang Guangkui，School of Foreign Languages, Shenzhen University.

"Chiatante's haiku flood the mind with a variety of emotions, driven by their modern and varied structure. The environment, waterscapes and urban landscapes, dominate this self-expression as an exploration of the self. The ecology of haiku, represented by the interconnectedness of words and punctuation, is a free form, deviating from canonical standards yet giving an innovative form to an impulsive writing of feelings".
- Prof. Matteo Convertino, fuTuRE EcoSystems Lab, Tsinghua University.
