She has also created two mixed-media chapbooks. Alicia enjoys writing each day, as well as working on her collage projects, and photography, with Zeppelin the Wonder Cat, by her side. Most recently, she finished writing a chapbook of forty-four poems, entitled: The Wild Pendulum, dedicated to her late, and beloved father. Her goals are to teach creative writing, create an exemplary poetry journal, that will add many more poets, and their work to the community, as well as having her full-length poetry manuscripts: "Piñata in E minor," "Requiem for a Lost Love," "Aftermath," "The Sorcerer," "Chiaroscuro," and "No Names For These Rivers," published in the near future.
