Produktbeschreibung
Language, myths, stories, and even our understanding of reality are usually expressed in the form of oppositions. The sacred and the profane, absence and presence, male and female. Very fittingly opposition is the central theme that pervades this seemingly disparate collage of lyrical compositions. Franciska Soares who has progressively lost her hearing claims that it is only in her brand-new silent world that she has discovered her ability to hear. Using poetry with its quintessential sacramental nature, she gives the reader an opportunity to experience this rapture. There's no need for a poet's ear to discern the music, the nuances. And like an artist, she has kept her poems incomplete and open. Quiet enough is most definitely a work of art, and one for the desk, not the bookshelf.
Autorenporträt
This is Franciska Soares' debut into the world of Literary fiction, after having achieved undreamt-of success in the non-fiction space with her publishers: Hachette UK.A decades-old time lag - during which her artistic impulse has lain dormant, bookended by 'life' - is what she draws on: The turning points, The high-noon's, The knife-edges, The quotidian, all experienced in three disparate countries: India, The UAE and New Zealand, where she presently resides. In returning to writing she says she has found her native language that has afforded her an 'in' to be in. It is the torch - 'not directed at the root of things, but a subtle mist where the unseeable is revealed' - that has helped her find her way home.A teacher with a double Masters (Education and Commerce), Franciska lives quietly in Queenstown, The Aspen of The Southern Hemisphere.
