Irma Kurti
Another Day is Coming
This poetry collection explores the many nuances of love, experienced as an emotional journey that moves from joy and sweetness to moments of absence and loneliness. Often, nature itself becomes a mirror of human emotions and fragility. The writing tries to capture the complexity of feelings and the vulnerability of a human soul.
​
Love and affection are shown through the delicate lens of everyday life details: a faded photograph that recalls memories, the absence of the loved one that materializes in the silence of a park, where the leaves on a bench become a mirror of a loss or of a long waiting.
​
The verses also intertwine love for her parents and nostalgia for the home, understood not only as a refuge of memories, but as a homeland. These are vivid, indelible memories that never vanish. As the poet describes in one of her poems titled "Traveling," her roots follow her with every step she takes, wherever she goes in the world. In the journey of life, they have become an integral part of her being, creating a deep and enduring bond with her origins: "They run through my body and spirit/They are transformed now into veins/They are a part of me."
​
This collection of poems tries to enter the labyrinth of love: from the romantic to the one for parents and homeland. The search for love is portrayed as a long, complex journey, an attempt to capture the many nuances of the sentiment. The beauty and magic of nature interweave with the depth and complexity of human emotions. The poems accompany the reader on a trip that evokes emotions and nostalgia.
