“Art, whether it be a painting, a poem, a story, or even a quick sketch, holds the power to touch a person’s emotions, to free them from an overbearing reality. While this year is challenging and tragic, the Literary and Art Magazine continues to share the gift of expression with its members and viewers, whether it be through the traditional page or a virtual screen,” -Ana Christaldi, 2020-2021 Editor
Ana has loved writing since she was a child. She has always been fascinated by the way words could create such vivid images, emotions, and experiences. She has written over 100 poems throughout her high school career. She has been published three times and will be for the fourth this spring. She plans to study Creative Writing in college and become a full-time writer in the future.
Since middle school, I have been interested in writing with freedom on a wide spectrum of topics, ranging from long, comprehensive stories and universes, to small, stand-alone novel length books, to small poems. I’ll be posting small poems and other various written works here. Hope you enjoy!
The Original Works of Ana Christaldi
I’ve always had an interest in writing, whether it was essays in English class or writing in a diary, though I wasn’t very serious about writing until 9th grade. On the first day of high school, my guidance counselor and I had to fix an error with my class schedule. In order to fix the error, I had to choose a new elective to take, which is how my creative writing journey began. Almost immediately, I realized how much I love writing. I enjoy writing about experiences from my personal life as well as my thoughts/perspective on parts of life many people have experienced. In April 2020, my first writing piece was published in the local newspaper!! I can’t wait to write more and share it with everyone. I hope you enjoy reading :)
