BACKGROUND
a little bit about myself
Born in Libya just before Gaddafi took over, and of Italian parents, I was automatically made an Italian citizen at my birth, although I did not get to go to Italy until a few years later, when we had to leave Libya in a hurry.
The first time I remember coming to live in England with my parents was when I was 5, in a small town called Farnborough, and even though we lived abroad from when I was about 8 or 9 our base was there until we moved to Scotland when I was in my mid teens.
MY POETRY
my inspiration & process
My awakenig to poetry, I think, started with an English class project at an American school I attended, when I was still quite young, where we were given the task of writing and making a poetry book each. It was a very simple affair but very satisfying.
Not too long after that, still at school, I was introduced to the poets ee cummings and T. S. Eliot which blew my mind wide open, it made me realise that poetry had no limits. You could write a poem in any way, any form, you chose. That was it. That was when I had found my essence, my being, although I would not realise that until much later.
