María Pilar Jiménez Aleixandre is a Spanish writer, translator and biologist. She lives in Amaía, Galicia, Spain. In her own words:
I use the Galician Language as a literary language because I have a forked tongue, however not all the creatures with a forked tongue are bad. I think that all stories and poems are messages written in ink, spittle or blood, that we throw into space wishing that somebody receives them.
