Life is the source of great poetry

The artist's art is lasting when it reflects from contemporary reality what is interesting and significant not only for the given moment, but also for the future. I wrote about my personal experiences, but these were experiences of a certain time, with their own specific features, and it is no wonder that today in my poems one finds the formed features of a woman, and of a Bulgarian woman, in a long period of her development, which passed in the conditions of two different eras. Poetry for a poet is like a disease with which he was born. It is incurable, it is carried throughout life. This requires not only a lot of love and loyalty, but also mental fortitude, hard work, and sacrifices. Especially when the artist, like me, is a woman who began working in the difficult social and public conditions in our country fifty years ago. At a time when she had to fight life and death for her right to have talent, to express it with her work, to win and pave the way for the gifted women who come after her. This was, for its time, and I can say it now without undue modesty, a true feat and Amazonianism.
