of Dreams” (2006) has just been released:
Rita is known as the poetess of love and dreams. All the rivers
of her poetic experience possessed throughout years, meet in the
sea of this book where the sparrow of poetry soars high above
worldly borders, prejudice, poverty, violence, envy, sadness and
pain...flying above meadows, hills, mountains towards the sun,
wishing to leave at least one fingerprint on the canvass of
creativity, prophesizing divine love, laying the basis of her
short poems on the ground of the following haiku:
as he sleeps
I watch the buds
of the dream
