Poetry for my beloved Daughter

The poems in this book are about Isis and her daughter. Both are introverts and highly sensitive. In the rush of a full-time job and other daily tasks, learning about each other's thoughts is not easy. There will come a time when one cannot ask one's mother any questions anymore. Then, it will be too late for answers. Thus, at some point, Isis decided to be more open with her daughter than her parents had been with her. Poems are very good for encoding messages. They not only communicate in words but also convey inimitable magic that often lies between the lines or in what is not said. Just like paintings, poems encourage the viewer to reflect and interpret, which can be very exciting.

Auteur

Isis grew up as the third child with loving parents who have been dedicated teachers. One could say that the love for prose and poetry runs in the family. Her father liked to memorize and recite poems, while her mother often thought up stories and used to read novels quite a lot. As soon as she could read, Isis had developed into a real bookworm. Since her love of poetry had rubbed off from her father, she wrote her first poem at the age of 8, which won a prize in the school competition. It was inspired by the wonderful painting "The Singing Boys" by Frans Hals. Just like her mother, Isis often made up stories as a child. Also, she loved to write long letters to her friends. Since graduating with a degree in industrial engineering in 1986, Isis has been working as an IT application support manager. It was not until the age of 53 that Isis continued writing poetry and prose, inspired by encounters with other poets. Isis is also the author of the books "Prism of Solitude", "Magie der Introversion" and the "Twin Flame Poetry" series.
