Alicia has a special sensitivity to capture beauty and a gift for expressing her feelings that has inevitably led her to write a book of poetry: "The Journey of Solitude." We have chatted with her to find out more about her and her work.
1. Alicia, what is poetry for you? What does it allow you to do?
For me, poetry, like all arts, is a ssion. A tool that allows latvia phone number data you to know yourself as a human being, helps you communicate and gives you another vision of life itself.
2. The book is called The Journey of Solitude. Why solitude? What role has it played in your life?
I don't think that in my life as much as in the creation of the work, in writing it has been of great importance to me. Getting away from the hustle and bustle, stopping taking advice from others and listening to myself.
I think the book was born out of an innate need for expression and a lack of means and it became the medium and the message.
3. How important has disability been when writing this book that has so much of you in it?
I have never really thought about this, or at least not when I was writing. Perhaps if I had been in a sports competition it would have been a handicap or a point to reinforce.
But writing makes me feel safe, it gives me security and self-confidence, which are perhaps things that having a disability can take away from you over the years.
4. Have you always wanted to be a writer? How do you see that talent in yourself?
Not really, I guess like most kids I've been thinking about various professions throughout my life.
