Your image between my fingers

Your image between my fingers: Tu imagen entre mis dedos, de Irma Kurti (Independently Poetry, 2023). Ed. English-Espa?ol (Tr. Javier Prieto)."Irma Kurti reaches directly to the heart of the reader, destroying as always the idea that poetry is an instrument for a select few, because narrative forms full of flourishes and literary artifices do not belong at all to its stylistic features. It is then the emotion itself that speaks through a memory, an image, a thought, described in such a precise way that they allow the reader to tiptoe into the author's life, while still wearing her own clothes. Poetry then becomes an art form capable of stopping time and memory, like a snapshot of words that each reader can enrich with infinite universes of meaning." GRAZIA PIA LICHERI

"Irma Kurti llega directamente al coraz?n del lector, echando por tierra como siempre la idea de que la poes?a es un instrumento para unos pocos elegidos, porque las formas narrativas llenas de florituras y artificios literarios no pertenecen en absoluto a sus rasgos estil?sticos. Es entonces la propia emoci?n la que toma la palabra a trav?s de un recuerdo, una imagen, un pensamiento, descritos de manera tan precisa que permiten al lector entrar de puntillas en la vida de la autora, sin dejar de vestir sus propias ropas. La poes?a se convierte entonces en una forma de arte capaz de detener el tiempo y la memoria, como una instant?nea de palabras que cada lector puede enriquecer con infinitos universos de significado."
