Christala studied languages at L'Institut Français, London; English & Psychology at the University of Surrey, where she conducted some of the earliest research into the psychology of music; and Education at Greenwich University. Since picking up her poetic pen eight years' ago for the first time since childhood, her award-winning work has been continually featured in journals, anthologies and on radio. A college-lecturer in English & Psychology for many years, Christala now devotes most of her time to writing & the performing arts. She sings with Imperial Opera, London and the English Arts Chorale, and launched the first of her poetry-concerts just five years' ago at the Reigate Summer Music Festival. Since then, she has taken these innovative concerts to a range of UK venues and festivals, giving both lunchtime recitals and full evening performances. Christala's first collection of poetry, Watercolour Essences of Moon, was published by PublishAmerica in 2006. Psychic and mediumistic herself and therefore with a great affinity with the Romantic poets, especially Shelley, Christala is proud to help lead a Romantic renaissance and shares with Shelley his spiritual vision of a world ruled by 'love not law', a vision the beginnings of which, despite what seems to many as appearances to the contrary, is already beginning to manifest. - www.christalarosina.co.uk
