Il manoscritto è costituito da quarantaquattro poesie, che trattano problematiche attuali, danno voce a chi voce non ha: a persone che a torto non vengono ascoltate, perché ritenute non importanti e quindi, anche se hanno voce, vengono tramutate in persone mute dall'indifferenza generale. Io dono la mia voce perché possano difendersi e farsi valere per gridare le loro ragioni.

Quest'audiolibro poetico è composto di quattro poesie. Esse trattano vari temi, ma tutte sottendono al senso melanconico, nostalgico e disincantato che bene descrive il sentimento del poeta, il quale, profondamente deluso dall'esistenza terrena, non nutre più speranza vera, che possa dargli conforto, per sublimarlo come nel tempo antico, quando l'"Incanto", offerto dalla sua "Illusione", gli consentiva di accedere ai "Sogni" sì tanto graditi.

Idealist, atheist, outcast, political radical and, of course, poet - Percy Bysshe Shelley was, in many ways, the epitome of the Romantic artist. His poetry was an outlet for his passionately held and highly unpopular beliefs, beliefs which resulted in social exclusion, exile, and possibly even his premature death at the age of 29. His work is a monument to his convictions and to the power of the human spirit, and today it is recognized as a key contribution to Romantic literature.

Si parte dagli attimi prima della nascita pieni di estenuante attesa per arrivare al primo compleanno. In mezzo, tutte le fasi degli esordi della vita vissute da due diverse prospettive con un comun denominatore: la meraviglia, di chi scopre il mondo e di chi rivive momenti riposti in qualche scaffale del tempo. Un percorso fatto di gioia, sorrisi, emozioni uniche, ma anche di difficoltà, frustrazioni, ansie.

"Di stanze vuote" è una silloge di venticinque componimenti e aforismi dell'autore. Il titolo "Di stanze vuote" sembra un voluto gioco di parole: leggendo a voce alta può infatti diventare "Distanze vuote". Sono spazi vuoti lasciati dai momenti difficili nei percorsi umani, là dove non c'è una fede a sostenerli. Sarebbero eterne stanze vuote tutte le vicende della vita e tutti gli stati d'animo delle persone se non ci fosse qualcosa a dare un senso a tutto quello che ci circonda. È una metafora ampia e ricca di sfumature, che a sua volta il lettore può riempire con la propria visione delle cose.
