Melanie P. Falina is a prolific music journalist and poet with a deep fascination for the intersection of place and prose. To date, she has independently published more than thirty volumes of poetry inspired by various cities and regions around the globe. When she isn’t capturing the spirit of a landscape in verse or covering the music scene, Melanie is often found at her easel as a budding painter. She is currently expanding her reach into children’s literature with her first picture book in progress.
