About Alkimia

I was born in the US but 6 years ago, my family and I moved to Mexico. As a child I didn't have many friends, so I decided to escape loneliness by playing on my Nintendo DS and reading the Bone comics from my schools library. The move to Mexico was rough but I think I'm used to life here. I do miss the weather back in my hometown in the US though. I miss the orange leaves in autumn, and the white snow in winter mostly. Right now I'm in my second to last year in high school and I'm not really sure what career is right for me.


Interests

Reading (currently I'm reading the 3rd Harry Potter book), gaming, anime, rock music and writing.


The idea that a poem was a made thing stayed with me, and I decided then that I wanted to be an artist, not just a diarist. So I put myself through a kind of apprenticeship in writing poetry, and I understood even then that my practice as a poet was deeply related to my reading.
