The Light, Color, and Sound of WordsIosefina Schirger writes and dreams, touching the light, color, and sound of words with her fingers. Entire poems seem to come from a universe where beauty floats in the air. Wherever you start reading, poetry extends a hand, you pass through the labyrinth of love together, then linger in meditation and contemplation. The painting is created with the heart. You dream... Before writing, Iosefina contemplates the world and resonates with things. Once penetrated into us, her poetry takes on other dimensions, horizons we would never have suspected: transcendence, demiurgic discourse, symbol. Iosefina's poetry is a continuous flame, it doesn't extinguish, only illuminates, dispels shadows, sadness, unfulfillment. The flame that burns with an open fire or smolders within us is love itself, a continuous oscillation between the inner self and the surrounding world, it is Ana herself from the immortal legend, built with faith and tears in a poem and now emerging from the wall like a mirage of infinity... Poetry is indeed the art of baring your soul, of coexisting in love...
