Ashes and daisies is a medley of moods that embraces the universal, the human, as well as the intimate and personal. These poems transcribe polarized emotions: delight and gloominess, illusion and reality, weakness and strength, ecstasy and apathy... Some verses carry archaic echoes of Greek mythology and legends... The images of "ashes" evoke the life's unpredictable nature that defines our human condition, disillusionment, the imperfection of our humanity and moments of alienation and randomness. The images of "daisies" bespeak hope, strength and love, and the mystery of their originality. They are laden with emotional force as they stand in sharp contrast to the gloominess filling our space and the prevalent sense of seclusion.
