It has the soul of an Irish woodland elf, mischievous, now good, now bad; a small phantom, a pain in the ass always at disposal. Mab, apart from the Shakespearean name, is a small witch that exists, because the artist is a child forever, defenseless among...

LINES OF LICORICE is an allsorts book of poems, many of which have been typed on my iPhone, or even scribbled on napkins and scraps of paper. I never intended to write poetry, but once I started to meditate these word arrangements just poured forth. Later, I learnt it's like a tap that I can turn on and off. However, sometimes the tap drips during the wee hours. And all hours. Poetry is a constant companion, a passion, a succour.
