Italian poet Alda Merini (1931-2009) returns to the theme of her own mental illness. “My brother no longer believes in me,” she says, “he only trusts the doctors: I have lost him” By chance, I took Merini's book home, the day the images of the 69th birthday of Bruce Willis were released.

Willis stole our hearts with his mystery-romance series in which he co-starred with Cybill Shepherd in the '80s.
