Sofia, you know I love your poems - I'm so happy for you!
I was reminded of this extract from an interview with Arundhati Roy, author of "The God fo Small Things" which we read in English class:

"You know, I always believe that even among the best writers, there are selfish writers and there are generous ones. Selfish writers leave you with the memory of their book. Generous writers leave you with the memory of the world they evoked. To evoke a world, to communicate it to someone, is like writing a letter to someone that you love. It's a very thin line. For me, books are gifts. When I read a book, I accept it as a gift from an author. When I wrote this book, I presented if as a gift. The reader will do with it what they want."

It's true isn't it?

Lots of love!

Drop a tear in my wineglass: Diana, thank you so much for your uplifting comment! You've been such a good friend to me and yes I still see you as a beloved sister! ;) Which is why I've decided to give you one of the first copies that I will get and sign it for you. Who knows it might be worth something later on in the future.. ^^

I believe that I have read that extract too and yes, Arundhati Roy couldn't be more right! I loved this part of the extract; "To evoke a world, to communicate it to someone, is like writing a letter to someone that you love." because this is what my novel/collection of poems is all about.

Love letters dedicated to this one special person who also is a beloved friend of mine, for each and every word that I have written were born throughout memories that I carried deep inside my heart. Memories that will always have a very special part deep inside my heart.
