Rivers of ink is a collection of poems in which the author shows all the wonder, the beauty, the poignant depth of a feeling, love, that gives life even when it causes pain, when it is tormented, unrequited, silent. Each poem explores love by highlighting a different facet of it. The author, with her young age, shows us how loving can be easy and complicated at the same time. The poems follow the various steps of falling in love, each describing the emotional toll it takes. The style is simple and delicate; the vocabulary bare and essential, devoid of elements that could shift the focus to anything other than the sentiment itself. The presence of poems in Spanish makes the collection even more poignant and romantic, emphasising even more how love can be a feeling that can make one suffer but can also heal.
