Marco Farinelli was born in Rome, Italy in 1967. Trained at the University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, where in 1992 he received his Masters in Political Science with a specialization in International Relations, and is now at the service of his peers to promote the Nations Convention United on the rights of people with disabilities. "I am not a poet: I have written too little and with a free verse, but when I wrote I did it often in a hurry, out of a sense of urgency - at the corners of my life, and when I was inspired, even in love, and now for Zora too. I prefer to call myself a poet at Heart, out of respect for true Poets, out of realism with respect to the few poems and aphorisms I wrote, and because although they tell me it's musical I don't write in metrics. Writing, even in verse, is a natural way of expression for me, and at least some poems I carry inside, but they are too intimate and personal to be disclosed on the web. It is important to me that my partner can appreciate them, even if in my love experiences it has never been indispensable. I tend to be inspired by the ideal vision of love for Zora in the Myth of the Androgyne or "of the two halves" of Aristophanes, in Plato's Symposium".
