Is she a poet? It's something more than poetry in her poems. Some say it's something less, it means the same: her poetry is slightly stranger than poetry. Is she from our world? No, she rather comes from outer spaces. Or, rather from outer times. She lives the times of ancient Greeks, meditating their writings, rendering their epoch. It sounds strange, of course. Are we aware that we are just footnotes of their culture?
