In a Blue Embrace.ĭescription Blue Embrace – Poetry books about loveĭaniela Cupșe’s poems take the reader into a deep realm, beyond the horizon, as is it is in fact poetry to which Daniela gives birth from the inner depth of her heart, of her soul, from the blue skies reflecting on the blue abyss of the ocean, sometimes stormy, sometimes tranquil. The reader is invited to stop for a few minutes to admire the front cover and then try putting together the picture and the title of the book, and find its disguised, elusive, thoughtful meaning, an embrace of two souls, rejecting or embracing the blues of some unspoken love, living parallel lives on parallel lines, yet converging in the infinite. These poems break down our daily routine and divulge our deepest sorrows we were so sure they were buried. If the author’s poems written originally in the romantic and musical Romanian language offer the reader an opportunity to immerse himself/herself in a world of reverie and introspection, it is fair to add that the translator’s refined comm Children’s happy book, Chopi and King Samovarand of English matches the original Romanian version. ![]() The author is offering the reader the chance of taking a journey into the depths of ardor and despair, of her inner self, through rhetorically doubtful questions, playing with words, exposing her suffering, loneliness, desires, longing, in sublime expressions, unexpected combinations of words, inviting to guessing, to identifying oneself to the season of her heart. ![]()
