‘Aurea’s Poems : From simple words a voice emerges—a woman, a young daughter, a mother but even more so simply a person—poignantly personal. A unique multilingual, multicultural perspective and a most unique feminism.. It is impossible to read this poetry without pain, without compassion and without a tremendous lift of spirit from its clarity and hopeful tenderness about life.’
