My english is fine, i'm graduating as a translator, but as you probably know, there's still a huge gap between someone that studies a language, even if he reaches the highest level possible of knowledge for a foreigner of that language, and a mother tongue. So yeah, i write lyrics for music and i'm looking for some heavy and constructive criticism. I'm showing up here because my lyrics are very poetry influenced so i thought this was the right place. Was i right? Thanks for giving my post a read, hope some of you may find themselves interested in this thing (is it already a thing?) or, shaping a quote from someone "Are there roots that can clunch,..., out of this stony rubbish?"

(i even studied literary translation so you 'sfondi una porta aperta') Thanks anyway for your reply, i was just starting to check them out. Do you know some place where you could find some co-author or stuff like that? i'd really love to work with other people and write on something more broader and complex. edited by Footlights on 12/12/2016
