Katie Aliferis is a soulful poet. Her words are brief and carefully placed. She removes any shade of protection to reveal the raw human spirit.

This collection is her journey on love – a journey of discovery, pain, darkness, and ultimately, like an alchemist, transforming all pain into a golden light in her soul. Aliferis shines bright.

Aliferis is a Greek-American poet and lyricist from San Francisco, California. She wields words like a sword, slaying dragons and laying to rest all that is unnecessary. Left standing are gems. Thoughts to ponder that linger like a welcomed gentle mist in the desert of one’s soul.

Aliferis, embodies Athena in her strength and wisdom, while being a muse of the world.
