Publisher's Synopsis
As a young woman, the author found an ally in language. She used it to communicate with herself and the outside world. In the beginning, her writing was a necessary outlet, but she quickly elevated it to an art form. Initially, her poems were bleak in nature, but in quiet times she produced beautiful Haiku. Her voice is characterized by pure and clear wording and stimulates reflection. It will take you to great heights and deep valleys, which many will find as a familiar territory. Marianne Prins (1957) grew up in a troubled family. The combination of a mentally ill mother and an irascible father provided a constant threat for abuse and fear of abandonment. As a child, she developed dysthymia. The toxic environment left her with serious injuries and borderline personality disorder.
