collection of poems - Akram Monfared Arya, the flying poet, has the watchful eye of the true aviatrix. She takes her readers to dizzying heights with poetic pirouettes that can make you feel a touch of vertigo, then lands you softly and safely in a way that only an experienced aviator can. She writes with a sense of humour and a non-judgemental way about important issues that touch us in many ways. She looks down on our landscape from her flying machine, from green valleys to golden deserts and beautiful oceans in all their nuances of colour. Her poetry is a mixture of curiosity and humour that easily draws the reader in. She flies high up in the sky like an eagle, diving straight at her target - glittering goldfish in their bowl, which is a prefect illustration of our society. There is no doubt that Arya is a brilliant poet, writing with great insight about things lie, love, jealousy, deceit, disappointment and loneliness. Her poems, such as "The Sea of Love" "The Last Breath" and”If you go away" are painful illustrations of the illusory nature of building castles in the air.
