The Blue Whale Sings from Afar is a mesmerizing poetry collection that intertwines delicate prose and vivid imagery, immersing readers in a tranquil realm of nostalgia and contemplation. What inspired you to incorporate recurring motifs of the color blue, pearls, libraries, and dust?

These are things I love and touch me deeply and I wanted to share them or my experience or vision of them through my poetry… Blue, pearls, libraries and dust have a magical quality.

Could you share some insights into your process of striking a harmonious balance between the grandeur of nature’s expanses and the meticulous attention to detail given to the most minuscule elements in your poems?

I love the smallest things in life. I think that at times they are forgotten or undervalued, and they can be tremendously beautiful, significant, and deep. The grandeur of nature leaves me speechless and in love… The harmonious balance between them in my poetry came instinctively.

The inclusion of Lewis Carroll’s “brillig” in “Victorian Afternoon” is a clever homage. How do you approach the incorporation of literary allusions and symbolism in your work, and what significance do they hold for you personally?

I adore Lewis Carrol’s oeuvre; I admire him very much… any literary allusion and symbolism to the works from other writers in my poetry is because it has touched me profoundly and I have the need to write/reflect about it.

What is the next book that you are working on and when will it be available?

I still do not know; I love to wonder and to be surprised, so I can then, hopefully, enchant my reader.
