Carving Magic

by Simona Prilogan

From poetry I have never gone. I only borrowed some mornings from the sunflowers and listened to their songs. The breeze brought sentences from far away, a mystic world displaying in my heart. Sound of love, aromas, colours, emotions. They were gathering at the gate of my mind, so I invited them in my inner world and together have created a genuine poetic space. A Simonic one. For returning the mornings to eternity. As we celebrate our togetherness, I invite you too for a cup of emotions and poetic thoughts poured between the lines.

About the author

One day, I tumbled from a tiny star called Dream and landed in a cup of Hope, just beyond the zone of hard work, where daily wishes meet reality.

I've always dreamed of visiting Antarctica, though I haven’t made it there yet! Until then, I journey through the intricate landscapes of the human body in my work at the hospital, tracking the unseen stories of cells.

When I step outside my comfort zone, you might find me on a train to Eastbourne, Matlock, or Canterbury, breathing in the fresh air and gathering inspiration. I return with pockets full of poetic ideas, though time rarely lets me write them all down.

London’s endless rainy days often set the stage for my impromptu singing performances on my way to work. I love dancing too, especially the waltz, though I’m a bit too shy to twirl in the rain.

I have a soft spot for pasta, coffee, chocolate, and a good laugh. Politics might elude me, but the human soul does not. And if there's one thing I believe in, it’s this: Love is our strongest emotion, survival instinct, and essential need.

Very exquisite poems, with fantastic imagery. Simona's poetry reminds me of classical poets.

[Nicole Sara · Rating 5 out of 5]

"Carving Magic" is a tender collection where poetry and art entwine, each page breathing with the quiet grace of nature, the pulse of life, and the warmth of love. Simona's poems are rich yet delicate, capturing fleeting moments and memories, and preserving them like pressed flowers in verse. Interspersed with dreamy line drawings, the book feels as much like a keepsake as a read, inviting you to linger and return. It is both a celebration of life’s beauty despite its heavier moments, and a gentle reminder of its presence in the everyday.
