Irma Kurti

“One day you will tell me”, published by Southern Arizona Press

Book of-Irma kurti

This book profoundly evokes the changes of time, its unstoppable evasion that makes us discover fragile, transient beings in constant evolution subjected to the inclement human weather of detachment, mourning, and absence. It presents a wide thematic variety, which makes it enjoyable and persuasive to the reader. We rediscover the feeling of nostalgia for the homeland but also get a look at the canonical existential vexations that situate humans in insurmountable aporias and impracticable dilemmas.

Irma Kurti, who is a poetess inscribed in the etymological history of the word “poetry,” shows herself to be an attentive and passionate woman when writing on paper, thanks to her brilliant attitude and the creative spark that propels her.
