One day I am blowing, One day I can't get going

One day blazing sun
One day there is none...
If some day you want me
don’t ask who I am now
One day I will be a leaf
if you will be my bough

• Day after day, different moods, in search of the right moment, of one’s stability.

• We are leaves that twirl and play, fall and rise again, but we all need a branch, a place to be welcomed and loved.

ANGELO MOZZILLO

Angelo Mozzillo was born in Naples in 1988 and lives in Milan. A collector of stories, he always likes to discover new ones and, when he can’t find any, he invents his own. He shuffles and rearranges words like a deck of cards, giving us stories, scripts, articles and nursery rhymes. His books include: “Io sono foglia” (Bacchilega Junior, 2020), "Giacomino Già che sei in piedi" (Biancoenero, 2020), “Quanto è piccolo il mondo" (VerbaVolant, 2019), "Viola e la luna" (Nomos, 2019), "Il Natale dell'orco Narice" (Eli La Spiga, 2019), "Abita qui Mimì?" (VerbaVolant, 2018).
