A long poem combined with intense colors and graphics, part of the "Flying" series by Alexandra Psaropoulou, a visual poet who has been composing poems and canvas paintings since a young girl. Later on, becoming a graphics artist and collaborating with large publishing companies in New York and Greece, she started creating her own style of poetry which would express her inspiration better and enhance the experience of the reader to deliver her message "The Flying".After losing a lot of her artwork through various unfortunate incidents though, including a fire which destroyed everything except her poems with graphics saved online, she decided to focus only on her graphic designs and poetry books which she has been working on for many years already. "The Flying" has a spiritual but not religious meaning; it is about life including the physical and spiritual dimensions altogether. Each reader is free to come up with their own interpretations of the meaning of the book or even life itself.Each book represents a different stage along the path towards "The Flying" which can be associated with the different stages of life that we go through.

Her mother was a ballet dancer, critic, and teacher as well as president of the Dance Union in Greece. Her family social circles, ever since a little girl, were rich with artists, writers, and academics.
