The butterfly has this ability to be born of itself. In her previous collection, Armonia Zyra offered poems written during her transition to the woman she had always felt inhibited. With this collection, she reveals behind the scenes when she was still living in a body that was not hers.
We find with pleasure her sharp pen, her militant spirit, her perception of the world with its injustices, her sufferings, the way she looks at the forgotten, the bruised by life, the excluded. In a constantly renewed melody, her poetic language envelops us and we can only be touched by the reading of these texts. These beginnings of the butterfly open wide the doors of Armonia Zyra's original universe.
She thought she was crazy for a long time. However, despite all these difficulties she lived as a couple and two children were born of this union.
At the age of fifty, her life turned upside down. She separated and thanks to meeting a man, who revealed her to herself and began a long journey to become the woman who had always been in her. She then immersed herself in writing a testimonial book recounting this life experience: "Je suis une poupée gigogne" (I am a nesting doll).
Now retired and settled in Sète with her husband, she can devote herself to her passions, reading, walking, music but especially the one that takes precedence over all others, writing. It is essential to her as breathing.
