What an ingenious integration of poetry and paintings! Louisa has provided a unique reader experience of poems packed with strong emotions and paintings that act like camera lenses capturing what usually eludes our attention. Her poems provoke deep thoughts and feelings about the extremities in human nature, compassion for oneself and others, appreciation of time and nature, and understanding of life and death issues. Here in her own words are her intentions for this publication: To me, poems are paintings put into words. My poems are laden with imageries and metaphors for the original and creative imaginations of my readers. My paintings portray some of the many possible imageries that my poems might engender, but as the audience, my readers are welcome to interpret my poems in their own unique ways and generate their own mental paintings creatively. Each reader has a right to their own deconstruction of each of my poems because each person has a different background and set of values. Instead of dictating a fixed scheme of meanings, I am very happy to see that each reader takes something different from my poems, in a self-healing and gratifying way.
