La Macina di San Cresci

 

R

“Artists are interesting creatures. We can be obsessive, dedicated, spirited and single minded in our pursuit for that perfect realisation of our art. We tend to be outsiders and are often that square peg in the round hole, so when you find an oasis like San Cresci you hold on tight -- for it’s that sense of belonging which welcomes you.”

My writing has appeared in numerous magazines and journals, including Dragnet Magazine, Open Book Toronto, Best Ultra Short Poems, a Canadian anthology published by the Ontario Poetry Society, and on CBC Canada Writes, the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation. Currently, I am a member of CWILA (Canadian Women in the Literary Arts) and the AICW (Association of Italian-Canadian Writers).
