Eva's favored genre is blank verse – the genre that casts aside the strict mathematical rhythms and forces us to listen into the living voice of the author, rather than to merely – and blindly – follow the pace. Vers libre gives us a chance to engage in meaning, instead of simply guessing the next rhyme.

Eva Mayer's poetry encompasses a kaleidoscope of transformations, changes of rhythms, imagery and tones; she is not afraid to engage in direct dialogue with her partner, with the reader. This poetry is akin to an overflowing vessel, to the untamed force of nature; and these exact qualities allow us to come face to face with sincere, genuine, real images and fresh, unhindered, yet eternal perceptions of the world, of each other, of loss and of love.

The book that you are holding in your hands is the first full-scale publication of Eva Mayer's work, combining her poetry, prose and unique illustrations. Divided into five parts, the book takes us on a heart-clinching journey, which is evident in the title of every «compartment» of this literary ship: «Strength», "Weakness", «Pain», "Growth", "Reward.

It's not just a collection of poetry, it's a hero's (or heroine's) journey which – like a breath of fresh air – will allow us to rid ourselves of weariness, to discard the mundane, to fall in love with sincerity, and unveil the sincerity to fall in love with ourselves once more, regardless of whether we're searching for our independence in solitude or are looking for a person, with whom we can share our warmth and true happiness.
