Poetry is a lyrical insinuation. Often, its melodic subtlety kisses the subconscious mind.

English was my fourth language. I arrived, I enrolled in public school, as a child, I believe I was about six years old when we finally landed in Michigan. And I was initially put in special education because I couldn't quite wrap my mind around the English language because I was listening to Hungarian and Albanian and German. My mind broke down like I couldn't quite wrap my mind around the fourth language.

Being as restless as I am by nature, I couldn't simply just be on set, wait for my turn to rehearse for the week. And I kept reading, but it wasn't enough for me.

We have such a finite amount of hours on this planet, and there is just no excuse for living a mundane, predictable life in life.

I've written and translated my own poems from English to German. It's basically a summation of my identity as it stands now.

Definitely routine is the bedrock of our relationship.

My experiences there truly defined who I am to this day as far as my humanitarian work because I was a refugee in Albania.
