Reviews & Critiques

The poetry of Irina Childs is not linked to literary currents, nor is tied by fashions, it does not connect to the mondenity, her poetry is atypical and relates to the universal... Irina is a poet of love, a sacred love, and her poetry is a poetry of essence.

Floarea Ţuţuianu
Poet, artist si painter

The poet, Irina Childs writes a poetry full of sensibility, having an original and profound personal philosophy, written with great accuracy.

Dr. Sorin Ardelean
Literary critic, theology specialist, Doctor in Philosophy

Mystic Poet is not fully suitable, Irina Childs writes transcendental poetry. She writes poetry infused by philosophy, mysticism and is able effortlessly to show God in nature like neoplatonists. She is an atypical poet that writes poems of great finesse.


Virgil Borcan
University professor, writer and literary critic

Irina Childs writes a poetry of ecstasy that takes your thinking to the theological apophatism.

Laurentiu Ciprian
Tudor, poet & essayist

Irina Childs is a writer that has a superb degree of perception. She writes a poetry of profound courage in a deep theological sense.

An Excerpt

At a certain level all becomes transparent. I have the feeling I am thus connected to a continuous transparency, where I can see and others can see me... This is a world in pure consciousness... For me beyond the word there is the Divine Self, the essence.... I am aware of the dense presence of my essence, the continuous unity with everything and this consciousness of my unmanifested eternal nature, yet simultaneously manifested... such sacred mystery...

About silence

In the spontaneous absolute and deep silence

You can find all that you are

All that

Which

You ever thought

You were looking for

The poetry of essence...

...Divinely Perfumed Sacredness...
the poetry of our holy essence
is beyond the mind
beyond any understanding,
beyond words...

It can only be felt
Lived, absorbed
Through the pores of the soul
Refined by love
And thirsty of the only
Essential and Divine contentment

There is one way of measuring the time - in minutes, seconds, moments that have made you a better person. This is it. Any other measuring unit is unessential.

***
I need to always be conscious, always me in me, at home, any moment lacking awareness, consciousness is dead time, the entering of my soul house in decay, feels like an exile of my being. Every second of life has to find me at home...
...The moment that you do not taste and do not live totally aware, lucid, fully, is wasted, a regret, it is like a guest that has visited you when you were out...
