back, and my poetry is very reflective of
that. As for technique, I really have no
desire to conform to modern technique,
which is free verse. I like writing free
form, but I LOVE writing lyric poetry. It’s
highly underrated in today’s literature.
I think it’s such a cool, and rare gift to
be able to communicate in rhythm, I like
being philosophical in a rhythmic way—it
brings the poem to life, and that is what
poetry is all about—it’s expressing life—
BREATH—through writing—it’s making
the page breathe.
As for the novel, well, I haven’t begun the
editing process just yet, so I don’t want to
give too much away, but what I will say
is; it is very reflective of today’s genera-
tion, and how lost we have all become as
a society, in whole. Relationships, human
relationships, are also a large part of
the book’s theme. There are all of these
characters going through so much turmoil,
addiction, and pain, and abusive relation-
ships, and the central character is just try-
ing to find her way. She has no home, she
feels like she doesn’t belong, and she goes
through all of these different experiences,
and relationships—in so many capaci-
ties—trying to understand how she feels
about each person individually, and all
people; as a whole. She’s very complex.
For example, she finds herself kissing
her best friend, but she can’t point out if
it’s sexual attraction or just an expression
of love, and this is often where she is at
emotionally, in the book. She is meeting
people on this journey, and trying to form
relationships with them, she desperately
covets lasting relationships. Then, she
finds herself going through the true taboo;
she falls in love with her therapist. A
married man, twice her age. Their love is
explosive! Both of them are artists, and
so they collide! It becomes for them, a
world filled with passion, and lust, and art,
and power! They are two intense, explo-
sive energies, colliding to form one solid
energy! You can’t help but fall in love
with them, their love should be viewed
as twisted, and perhaps even tainted and
dark, yet there is a this true, raw, deep,
pure connection between them. The pas-
sion draws you in, it makes you forgive
them their flaws, forgive them for the
relationship that perhaps, they shouldn’t
be indulging in. The genuine love is what
makes this a truly haunting, yet lovely
tale. It’s an impossible love, it’s sad, but
it’s real. Very, very real. It’s based on true
life, so trust me, it’s real.
Probably the exercise of writing has
given you a fertile imagination. Are you
equally imaginative in your intimate
life?
Absolutely! I always felt that when you
truly love somebody, there should be great
passion in every way, involved! I’m an
idealist—yes. A surrealist, and a romantic,
in a lot of ways. Though life has made me
quite cynical, my true nature is a romantic
one. So I was able to save that part of me,
despite what I’ve gone through. When I
found my mate, I knew I wanted to give
that person a wonderfully creative, sensu-
al, memorable world! Why not experience
everything you can sexually, with the one
you love, and adore? Why not be creative
for them? Make great, lust and love-filled
memories, with them? I think it’s fantastic
to go the extra mile…be creative, fun,
spontaneous, dangerous, and adventurous!
With clothing and lingerie, toys, personali-
ties, roles, all of it! The where, and how,
what, and when!
Your appearance is not the typical
American face, What is your ancestry?
I am a rare blend of Italian and Armenian!
Do you think your family and cultural
background has influenced in how you
see life.
Well, my parents are second and third
generation Americans, so they are actually
very American in terms of how society
defines “American.” I’m the odd-ball,
the weirdo, the free-thinker. I think that
I just kept my eyes open throughout my
life, and that is what really influenced
me. I listened. I read. I watched people. I
learned. I was interested in other cultures,
always. I wanted to know everything
about everyone. I’ve always been so aware
of the outside world. Outside of America, I
mean. I’m thirsty for knowledge, and I can
never get enough, which is great because
there is ALWAYS more to learn!
As for my ancestry, going back to that,
my Father came from a typical American-
Italian family. Which is great! It was loud
talking, and parties, and yelling, and argu-
ing, and laughing, and food all the time!
You know the spaghetti, and meatballs,
the manicotti, and stuffed shells! All of it,
when we were little. Unfortunately, most
of my family has passed. I stilled have
all of my immediate family, but outside
of that, a lot of the elders have passed on,
additionally, many of us are all living in
different regions nationally, now.
The Italian families tend to be very
expressive in their feelings. There is a
common phrase that says something
like “Love and hate as true Italians.” Do
you have some of that in your attitude
and behaviors?
Yes, absolutely. The true Italian attitude
was all about loyalty. Unfortunately, some-
where down the line that changed, and
you’ve seen what happened with certain
groups. But, I am fiercely loyal, to answer
your question. Meaning, if I love you, I
love you at a deep, deep level—friend,
family, or lover—and if ANYBODY
threatens the safety or happiness of those
I love, I am out for blood. 110 pounds, or
not—I AM OUT FOR BLOOD. That’s the
part of me that many don’t see, because I
have a very peaceful nature, but if I love
you—I LOVE YOU!
When you’re in a relationship, and
when things starts to get hot, would you
rather move forward and take control
of what’s going to happen, or do you let
yourself be seduced, and adopt a more
submissive attitude?
I am adaptable. I am very good at reading
people—body language, signs, gestures,
etc., so I sort of adapt to their personality-
type. Are they shy, timid, sweet, kind? Or
are they very masculine, domineering, and
possessive?
It can be fund dating both types, but my
lover and mate is able to alternate, which I
love. I can be seductive for him, domina-
tive, possessive, or I can be submissive,
obedient—fragile—even. He loves both
sides, and I am intoxicated by playing both
parts for him.
In that sense, do you think that men
get intimidated by women who take the
initiative? Did you happen to have an
experience like this before?
No, because I tend to attract dominative
types more often than submissive men.
I do think some men get intimidated by
powerful, domineering woman, but I seem
to attract men who wouldn’t mind relent-
ing full control—as long as it stays in the
bedroom.
You are completely open-minded. What
do you think of the titles that society
uses to “tag” a person, such as; straight,
gay, bisexual, transgender, etc.? Do you
think they are useful and help in some
way to understand social relations, or
on the contrary, do think that they hin-
