'We are made of words, like poems' --W.A.Wirton Arvel is above all a poet who tries to encourage the promotion and love of poetry, especially among who only enjoy reading prose works.With this aim in mind he has written a book of "narrated poems" which is entitled "Wandering among the stars": it's a literary experiment where prose and poetry are intermingled like soul and body, in order to create a story that looks like a work of prose, but at the same time arouses the emotions, like poetry. This book has been a hit and has remained for more than twelve consecutive months among the bestsellers of its category in the Italian Kindle Store.Besides his work as a writer, he has also edited several bilingual editions with English parallel texts: among them there are some classics of literature such as "The Wonderful Wizard of Oz" by L. Frank Baum, "Alice's Adventures in Wonderland" by Lewis Carroll, "A Christmas Carol" by Charles Dickens, "Three men in a boat" by Jerome K. Jerome, "The Rime of the Ancient Mariner" by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, "The Adventures of Pinocchio (The Tale of a Puppet)" by Carlo Collodi, "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.He has also edited some anthologies of Italian and English poetry, among which "Aedi, Bardi e Poeti - Cantori, Trovatori e Vati (Poetry Anthology: XII-XIV centuries [with Occitan and Italian poems])", "101 poems worth reading in London and New York..."
