If I could I would kiss his wrists. If I had half the courage to face his pain. - Masiela Lusha

I would like my books to stand as a tool to unbind children from expectations of poetry because it should free the child to self-expression and exploration.

It came about like a typical audition where the actress doesn’t know a soul in the room, and exposes her heart and vulnerability in hopes of winning a handful of strangers’ affection.

I would much rather sit, dimmed by inattention, and study the atmosphere and the silence and dance between people, but often times I’m not offered this privilege. The necessity for isolation, and the striving for attention is the only contradiction I find in being a writer and an actress.
