Culturopolis

By Fabrice Roy

Welcome to my world ! Essays, poems, impressions, short stories, emotions, nostalgia... writing accompanies my life.

To parody Rostand and his Cyrano, for a yes, for a no write or... make a verse. And deliver with restraint, with a smile on your face, anything that can increase us and make our hearts speak. This page will gradually be enriched with texts that I am delighted to share with you...
