For the winter of 2015-2016, I was the caretaker of an organic farming project in the centre of Sicily, in the forest-valleys by the ancient hill-town of Morgantina (modern Aidone). I arrived in September 2015, and left at the end of March, 2016; in-between lending a hand in orchards, rivers, and workshops, and maintaining the vegetable beds of the farm itself, I wrote an epic poem about an earlier period in my life: my time in Greece, 2010-2013, during the crisis. In December, Etna erupted; I took this panorama from the public 'balcony' of Aidone.
