Kiss Me or Kill Me
looks like the perfect poetry book especially for current times. Can you tell
us a little about it?
Well, "Kiss Me and Kill Me, But Please Set Me
Free!" is, basically, a collection of poems written to an interactive book
that speak about three different subjects; Mental Health, Love, and Inner
Strength.
The first chapter, Mental Health, is meant to unearth the
things that we tend to sweep under the rug. You can't fix what no one ever
knows about.
The second chapter, Love, is meant to shower you with
moments of love and appreciation as well as other poems about loving from the
soul out.
And the last chapter, Inner strength, are poems about
reclaiming the positive things about you while letting go of the things that
don't serve you.
How long did it take you to write Kiss Me or Kill Me?
It kind of flowed to me. Some of the poems were already
written, but when I'm going through something, and I get emotional, Inspiration
comes pretty quickly, so it only took me around three to four months to write
it.
What inspired you when writing Kiss Me or Kill Me?
This book was written at a time when I was feeling trapped
and helpless.
I had just moved away from everything I knew, from
Florida to FREEZING Michigan, I was having a hard time adjusting, and no one I
could really talk to about it.
I write to get emotions out that I can't quite express
properly, and this was a moment where not only did I feel the need to spill my
guts all over paper, but I also knew that If there's one like me there are
more, and I wanted this book to be like a message in a bottle to others who
were feeling like I was. I wanted them to know that they were not alone.
Did anything stick out as particularly challenging when
writing Kiss Me or Kill Me?
Oh good Lord. where do I start... The title, the cover ,
the arrangement of the poems, pretty much everything!! LOL! But it was
definitely worth the effort.
What do you like to do when not writing?
I'm also a freelance artist, I create a lot of portraits
and abstract pieces. I'm also an illustrator, and I write kids stories, some of
which will be published soon.
