"Always a pen in hand, I have been a poet since I was 9 years old. My dreams finally came true when I met my spouse; he told me about a dearly held project that highlighted the fact that children and grownups are all born under a good star. Our chemistry and our common vision gave me wings to write and we are glad to share these bilingual writings with you. Solo Infinity wishes to find again true and simple values of our life which easily seem to be forgotten in our modern society." Sonia Colasse.
