    About this ebook

    This poetry collection reflects the new poetry stemming from a major change in the author’s personal life. Parentheses were the perfect vehicle to combine two poems into one. Two worlds confronting each other, even at the language level – because English is not Daniela Marin’s native language. And yet, this wave of poetry crashed into her bearing these English words, with their particular sound, music, and flow.
    With or without sound, this certain rhythm transformed the poet’s previous style, emphasizing the resonance of states labelled as rust and wings, stones and flowers, death and life. With a few exceptions, all poems were originally written in English. Few of them are translations and adaptations from Romanian poems.
    The volume has four parts – Flashes from the flesh, The diary of renovation, The dialogue of life-death-love, Nine – bracketed by two parentheses-like sections (The opening of closing, The closing of opening), bringing together seemingly disparate words and worlds and searching, always, for meaning.
    The world of words, or words creating worlds, has been a constant subject of interest to Daniela, along with the spiritual quest for truth and understanding the purpose and meaning of human life.
