The Song of Ourselves - Poems of Love and Solitude.

By Iaia Chiesa (author).

A collection of poems written by the Italian authour and Anthroposophist Iaia Chiesa.

‎" A sincere and warm human being. Speaking what she thinks, ‎writing what she feels and walking the words into poetry."‎ Glenn Bard
‎"...Words like bridges built of breath....Words like another sense" ‎‎- Iaia says, and I find it irresistibly beautiful as it opens up worlds ‎within worlds."‎ Julia Dvinskaya, Linguist and Translator ‎
"........the competence and excellence that Iaia has achieved in ‎her adopted ‘mother-tongue' attests to the humanity that ‎transcends and transforms the restrictions we are born with, ‎indeed the ‘burdens' she has carried have become the sensitive ‎delights that bless us through her poetry........"‎ Andrew Wolpert, international lecturer on Anthroposophy, Shakespeare, and Parsifal

About the Author

Iaia Chiesa, a poet and an artist, was born in Italy in 1953, where she studied art and art history. ‎She moved to London, England, in 1981, to study English and English literature. She met Paola ‎there and they lived together for thirty-five years, as wife and wife when it became legally ‎possible, until Paola's death in 2019. ‎ Iaia's interest in literature started when exploring her father's and godmother's extensive ‎libraries, and her love of poetry goes back to her teenage years, when she discovered Jacques ‎Prévert, Pablo Neruda, Evgeni Evtushenko, Kurt Tucholsky, Cesare Pavese, Dylan Thomas and ‎many others, mainly European and Russian poets and authors. She lives in London.‎
