The world is not a place of equal right, and I can attest to this by simply telling the story of my life. I have chosen to convey this message in the form of my poetry, and I feel that readers who care enough to pick up my book will somehow connect with me. This is my second collection of poetry the first one being entitled "The Color of White, and I think here I have progressed and developed as a poetess, while still carrying on the same message.
I started life with one simple wish: to become someone who studies the wonderful workings of the living world. My dreams eventually carried me to a prestigious laboratory at the Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Institute, where I miserably failed as a talented student with a severe illness. What to do, such is life.
After struggling to find occupation in the United States, I eventually joined my wonderful, ever-loving husband Jaroslav Albert (who is also an extremely talented scientist) in Brussels, Belgium. Here, after two years of loss and darkness, I found two professionals that brought light and hope into my life. In a sense, this book is dedicated to them to these noble, highly expert people whose, in my opinion, role in this world is that of saving people's lives.
I hope this book, a modest attempt to convey my understanding of those affected by difficult illness, will inspire them to keep on fighting in this difficult life and succeed in their dreams, just as I am hoping to succeed in mine.view less
