“The poetry of Flavia Cosma acts upon the reader like a sensual and mystical
alchemy. She seduces us in the fullest meaning of the term. Flavia whispers in
our ear forgotten words that cradled our childhood, hums enchanted nursery
tales. The Latin Quarter is a stunning earthly festival where fairies and imps
flirt in the forest, where sea and sky meld in ceremony with radiant souls.
Love and death, longing for a loved one too soon departed, transcendence,
recurring themes in her work, saturate Flavia’s poetry. May the reader fall in
love with this collection in which the poet gives herself wholly.”
