With absolute sincerity and vulnerability Maren Sofía shares the vivid colorful voices that inhabit her immersing us in her world of words images rhythms memories dreams and desires. Every poem is a reflection an introspection a question and a quest to live with unwavering awe gratitude and acceptance. Writing is for me an organic process as vital and necessary as breathing. I write to heal the soul. The impulse comes from within and involves my whole body: the heart liver skin muscles blood. It is not a technical process or from the neck up. For me life itself is poetry and everyone who lives makes poetry. I find it and feel it in everyone and everything. And it is has been and will continue to be my lifeline. By writing I discover and digest the fullness of life not only in what is good and beautiful but in everyone and everything: in our relationships in our vocations in our workplaces in our daily lives...I invite you to read me to give me the privilege of allowing my words to blossom in your mind.
