About Me:
I live in Tunisia. I graduated with a BA in Anglo-American Studies in 2002. I write poetry and have an interest in literature, languages and literary translation. When I have nothing to do, I just like to smoke and ponder while having a cup of tea with mint.

2.

Throw away the wooden language that is stored in that termite-eaten armchair.

 

3.

Have a sizzling affair w/ language.
