"The idea of writing a book is a childhood dream, just to imitate my father who was in the meantime writing his doctoral thesis. For my poetry collection, I first had the idea of trying to write a few poems, like Alphonse de Lamartine or Victor Hugo. After that, I finally discovered in myself the soul of a poet and the passion for writing, which led me to write a lot of poetry. Why not look for a publisher? I said to myself."
