Pocahontas
The Jamestown colony’s records mention her real name: Amonute, daughter of Chief Powhatan. She was known for speaking to the river as if it were alive. Settlers mocked it — until the river began changing course overnight, drowning their camps and uncovering bones they hadn’t buried properly.

"Men": The Acclaimed Play by Stefano Labbia is Finally Released in English.
There is a profound resonance when a piece of art transcends its original language, moving across borders not just of geography, but of soul. It signifies that the core of the message, the essential human truth within the narrative, is potent enough to reach us all, no matter where we call home. Today, we are witnessing this powerful moment with the English edition release of the theatrical work, Men. This isn't just a translation; it is an invitation. An invitation to look closer, to listen harder, and to feel the sometimes-uncomfortable reality that the playwright, Stefano Labbia, places so deftly right before us.

The Quiet Conflict: Why We Set Good Books Down
We've all been there. That moment when you hold a new book, heavy with promise, the scent of the pages like a fresh start. You commit. You dive in. And then, somewhere between the introduction and the rising action, something shifts. The momentum stalls. You find yourself glancing at the clock, your eyes tracking the lines but your mind floating somewhere between the grocery list and that email you forgot to send. Eventually, quietly, almost shamefully, you place the book face-down on the nightstand, where it becomes not a window to another world, but a gentle reproof.

A Hard Fall and Good Bounce
Poetry, for me, has always been a way of gathering fragments—the daily objects, passing moods, and uneasy questions that won’t stay quiet. A poem begins with a small detail, then grows into something larger, a landscape where memory and imagination blur.
