Tatuerad Fjäril

The aptness of phrase and the verbal magic of the poems included in the poetry collection is remarkably impressive. The important characteristic of these poems is the poet's ecstasy of feelings. The poignant intensity of this poetry collection awes and impresses the readers. The power and precision of the diction used in these poems is quite admirable. BIOCharlotte was born 1968 in a doctor's family, where music and culture had a big place in daily life. So much so that when Charlotte was eleven years old, she and her best friend played "poets" and wrote down reflections that were important to them. At such an occasion, Charlotte had some kind of revelation, realising that poetry took her very close to the absolute truth she was seeking. She also studied the violin, and became one of the most appreciated violinists in the baroque genre, playing the violin in a way that you could hear the words behind the notes. She also finished an education in sculptural art. Her mindset has been to: Express whatever can be expressed.You do not become an artist doing what you are told. That means a life constantly questioning every stereotype in society without compromise. In her forties, she suffered a stroke, rendering her into a coma, and later into a wheelchair. With the violin, painting and dance, she has taken back balance and mobility, and is presently working with ceramics. The essence of this small collection of poems reflects a young artist's unwillingness to adjust to a world, built on compromises. Her truth is hidden in the poems.
