In her words: "Poetry is developed, concurrently with life, at least in my case. I have never asked myself, in the case of poetry, what I am going to write about, because poetry has no "topics". It unfurls a non-knowing, expresses the curiosities and concerns of the soul in the world. Nor can we ask about the formal structure, because it arises spontaneously, according to the above. "
