The Call Of The Ink Bird Laura Demelza Bosma

'The Call Of The Ink Bird' reads like a fairy-tale, both dark and light. We wander through the forest of womanhood and find love-poems and loss-poems. Some poems are situated in higher spheres, talking of a spirituality that sets us free. Other poems sing about the body going through life, experiencing the different seasons. What weaves through all the poems as a red thread is the awe for nature. Animals appear as spirit-guides; mirrors reminding of our source and beauty, their primal essence runs through the heart of these words. Both poems and drawings demonstrate a dreamy but also disarmingly honest nature. Laura believes healing can come through conscious expression. By bringing the art of our thoughts and feelings into the world with the sensitivity of a mother who prepares a self-made birthday present for her child, we find our love. In the title 'The Call Of The Ink Bird' ink is used as a symbol of nature's providing everything we need to fulfill our missions. The call of the bird, a metaphor for our inner hunger to create.
