ABOUT ME


In my professional life I have worked as a Features Journalist for a newspaper contributing over 200 articles about various topics.

After some encouragement by the renowned author Frans Sammut, I printed three poetry books: "Gateway to Infinity," "Heaven & Earth" and "Leela’s Game". More recently I printed a short story for children: "Sofia’s Flying Sofa", illustrated by the artist Lisa Falzon.

“The Maltese Temples in Paintings and Poetry,” co-edited with the artist and author Francis Xavier Aloisio, is now also available in digital format on Smashwords.

60 SECOND INTERVIEW 
BY MARIE BENOIT FOR THE MALTA INDEPENDENT 2003

Sometimes in life you take small detours, and mine was a six year degree in Law and a Masters in International Law, although those detours do come in handy sometimes!

At the moment I am focused on doing what I love the most, which is to write articles, interviews, poetry and short stories.

​My first book of poetry "Gateway to Infinity" brought unexpected satisfaction, and the second one is now thankfully on the way. "Heaven & Earth" shall be launched at the Castille Wine Vaults and will be available in a few leading bookstores. 
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!
