Well, this particular book, um, there are a lot of different directions I'm going.

Uh, I often go in direction of nature and life generally, but I find it, it is, it, it is a, a, an, an...

It binds me in a direction, and I don't want to go in a fixed direction.

I want freedom, and that is important to me.

Therefore, you find in the book a lot of different things, particularly in the fur- the end of the book, that I'm going a weird direction, strange, different directions.

Yeah? Not just love, not just people, nature and things that happen in there.

I, I have been living in the south of France for about 20 years.

I lost my wife, say, 10, 15 years ago.

Fine.

I have no problem with that.

Uh, but I'm living my own.

I do my own thing, and I'm, I am an artist.

Yeah.

So that's what inspires you, right?

That's right, yeah.

I mean, apart from that, because I was living in France, I started reading stories about the French poetries.

And I said, well, that's very nice.

And I got the translation of that because my French over the years is getting better.

And so for you, because you're an artist and that's a different medium, what was it like when you started to write poems and you started to let that all flow?

And so for you, because you're an artist and that's a different medium, what was it like when you started to write poems and you started to let that all flow?

Yeah, that is not as a problem, but is an extension of my whole idea.

If I make a drawing or I'm painting, that is a complex system for my brain, for my body itself.

That's fine.

When I'm finished, yeah, that's finished at perfect, yeah? But there is more to it.

I want to write down on paper the story of why did I draw this? Why did I draw and paint and make a painting of the crooked trees which fell down? Yeah, it basically looks very well.
