Aprašymas

Florinda Ruiz was an avid poet and award-winning photographer. After her cancer diagnosis, she dedicated herself to sharing her poetry and photos with the community of cancer patients around the world.

"Healing Dust is a work of poetic alchemy: transforming the anguish and grief of terminal illness into incandescent images and words. Florinda Ruiz's posthumous volume of poems and accompanying photographs is as much a testimonial to the author's fierce courage of battling the ravages that cancer and its multifarious treatments inflict on the body and soul, as it is a glorious journey from darkness to light, from desperation to hope, from revolt to lucid understanding, all crystalized in exquisite language and dazzling imagery. The pairing of each poem with a corresponding photograph, most of them taken by the author herself, is a brilliant move that adds depth and multidimensionality to the volume. The "healing dust" that this beautiful soul has sprinkled over the world before her passing, will touch readers of all walks of life, offer hope and solace and envelop you in its shimmering colors."-Domnica Radulescu, award-winning author of Train to Trieste, Country of Red Azaleas and Dream in a Suitcase.
