Amara, the book the certainty of being alive
208 pages of thoughts, verses, suggestions, epiphanies and dreams of a woman who knows how to shape the free word into different forms, satisfying that need that everyone has in common: bringing what you feel outside of yourself.
Bitterwho works with words intertwining them with melodies and notes, felt the need to collect in the pages of The Certainty of Being Alive that expressive immensity that the human spirit, in dialogue with itself, with nature and with the transcendent, produces .
A book built with the spontaneous immediacy of a notebook, which Bitter defines “thought vomiter”. In this regard, the artist explains: “I have collected the reflections, the prayers, the sinkings that in everyday life, without warning and without purpose, modulate my state of mind, my inspiration towards the world.”
A work that brings together love, faith, pain, hope, truth and research. Its advantage is that it is accessible to everyone, reminding us of the important things that unite us as human beings.
In this book, words aggregate and dissolve like flocks of birds around the most universal themes and suggestions, transforming into a very personal emotional and spiritual autobiography. A true gateway to the core of the feelings of one of the most inspired and intense artists of Italian music.
