About
James Marchiori is an Italian-born, naturalised Irish poet, screenwriter, and novelist. His literary journey began at the tender age of nine, when he wrote his first verses in the solitude of his room after discovering the dark, atmospheric tales and poems of Edgar Allan Poe.
Literary Achievements and Style
Marchiori's work is often described as "Bohemia incarnate," reflecting a soul deeply devoted to surrealism and poetry. His writing is characterized by a blend of sarcasm, honesty, and humor, often utilizing surrealistic metaphors to highlight modern contradictions.
- Awards: He has collected numerous literary awards across Italy and Europe, including a prestigious recognition at the European Parliament in Brussels for his poetry.
- The Poe Legacy: His novel, To My Beloved Heart: The Last Journey of Edgar Allan Poe, is a worldwide tribute to Gothic fiction. The work earned him a nomination for the 'Saturday Visiter Awards' from the Poe Baltimore Association.

Scholar of the Arcane
Beyond his creative writing, Marchiori is an independent scholar of the Western Mystery Tradition and Eastern Mysticism. His creative output is heavily influenced by a lifelong immersion in occultism and esoterism, a path he began early in life under the guidance of members of prestigious Orders. This deep knowledge of occult sciences and practices serves as a driving force for his diverse projects, from screenwriting to his latest novels.
A Global Perspective
A seasoned traveler, Marchiori has spent extensive time in cultural hubs such as New York, Los Angeles, London, and Dublin. These international experiences inform his "universal view of traveling" and his ongoing exploration of the human experience—from the search for home to the connection with one's roots.

From the top of an overwhelming
rooftop of sophism
the mute pigeons.
In front of the cinnamon taste,
fraudulent frames of
a false bespoke universe.
What was the taste?
Enhance me now.
Tell me where the universe was taken,

Where are they?
Just to bevel our
bitter, sharped corner.
Shabby, shocked, holes

blind across the brain maze.
A glimpse of thought
throughout a tear,
a breed of fear.

The universe is all about space and time and their contents.
The universe is like a container, or better to say, a lot of containers one into another; just like the typical Russian doll called Matryoshka.
The universe is the container that makes everything possible.
Just being as it is. Existent.
In the universe, the role for which the holding of things is made possible, is called communion.
The complementary sense of things. No one like the other, no one more or less important than the other. All...
Zikru the idea.
He had an idea. During an ordinary day, Zikru, tired as always, was trying to find a revelation, an explanation, a solution. What he was looking for was in his reflection, in the mirror. Was it his in-sight? Maybe it was what he was staring at. He wanted to heal his tiredness throughout his own reflection.
Using it to fill the void, the lack of substance, the wrong facets. To cancel weaknesses, to save from decline. In front of him, just a mirror, a common bathroom mirror. What...
