Our only connection to the world was through a radio program called Voice of America, and through the Italian television waves, which we caught illegally through primitive, improvised antennas. The only way to escape from reality was reading books.” WorldBookCountryRealityReadingProgramWaveItalianReading BooksPrimitive Author:Luljeta Lleshanaku
“Words are delicate instruments: How to use them so that, after having read the poem, the taste remaining is not of the words themselves, but of a thought, a situation, a parallel reality? If not used appropriately, words in poetry are like the ugly remains of food after eating. What I mean is that readers will reject words if they don't serve to shift attention from themselves to somewhere else.” MeanRealityAttentionSituationEatingUglyDelicate Author:Luljeta Lleshanaku
