During her university training the literary passion is irreparably intertwined with the desire to poetise, therefore she founded and directed the first university newspaper "PRIMUM" for three years, inserting for the first time a column dedicated to Art and Letters in the context of  a magazine dedicated to medicine.  During these years she has conducted interviews and reviews on artists and writers such as Aldo Gerbino, Paolo Ruffilli, Ugo Entità, Franco Spena, Sebastiano Milluzzo, Agostino Riitano.  From here the experiment of fusion between science, technical language and lyricism began, embracing the various aspects and imprinting them in a sensory web up to the spasm, in order to stop the reader to observe the writing and make it three-dimensional, involving all the senses,  in a polysemy that makes interpretation free.  In 2014 she created a personal writing page "Singhiozzi di_versi Amar_Anto"  with over 2000 followers.  She was co-author, in the edition "Agenda di Poesia" 2017, 2018 and 2019.
