About Me
|
I started writing as a means of self-expression in my early 20s, and the late author Frans Sammut encouraged me to print my first poetry book. I would like to thank Bank of Valletta (BOV) for providing me with two Cultural Sponsorships.
I feel grateful to have printed 500 copies of 'Gateway to Infinity' including a Foreword by Frans Sammut himself. I have since printed two more poetry books - 'Heaven & Earth' and 'Leela's Game', and a short story - 'Sofia’s Flying Sofa', illustrated by Lisa Falzon. I have also contributed poetry to two books by the artist Francis Xavier Aloisio - “The Maltese Temples in Paintings & Poetry” and “Islands of Dream”, and created some short 'haiku' poems for “Glass Attitudes” an Exhibition of Fused Glass Works by Walter Vella, held at the National Museum of Fine Arts. You can contact me if you would like to order any of my books. All content on this website is Copyright (c) /All Rights Reserved of Erika Brincat. |
What one may conclude with a degree of certainty is that Erika Brincat has, in her tormented search to reveal her intent, energetically explored the myths which have crowded the collective psyche since time immemorial - an exercise that cannot fail to shed light on the universal experience of living."
~ Frans Sammut, Author of ‘Il-Gaġġa’, 2001

60 SECOND INTERVIEW
|
|
Star sign and date of birth?
Gemini, 25.05.1975 What is your idea of perfect happiness? The freedom to be true to yourself. What is your greatest fear? Stagnation in life and love. What is it that you most value in your friends? Their honesty, and an ability to live spontaneously. How would you like to die? Satisfied that my earthly mission has been somewhat accomplished! What is your greatest extravagance? Probably my flights to and fro from the island. What is your most treasured possession? A ring made of green glass given to me as a gift symbolising serenity. |
Which talent would you most like to have apart from the ones you already have?
The talent of cooking with passion. What do you regard as the lowest depth of misery? Being trapped constantly in a negative mind-frame and criticising others. It happens to the best of us sometimes, but it must be real hell to experience it all the time! Who are your heroes/heroines in real life? Osho, Sting and Khalil Gibran come to mind on the male side, and Erica Jong, Frida Kahlo and Georgia O’ Keefe are my favourite female artists. What is it that you most dislike? Invasion of privacy, gossip and noise pollution. What is your motto? Try and keep a Positive Focus because the Universe is listening! *****
