ISIS

Isis grew up as the third of 4 children with loving parents who were devoted teachers. You could say that a love of prose and poetry runs in the family. Her father loved to memorise poems and often recited them, while her mother made up stories and loved to read fantasy novels. Shortly after she learnt to read, Isis developed into a real bookworm. As her love of poetry had probably rubbed off from her father, she wrote her first poem at the age of 8, which won a prize in a school competition. It was inspired by the marvellous painting "The Singing Boys" by Frans Hals. Just like her mother, Isis also invented imaginative stories as a child. She also loved writing long letters to her friends. Since graduating with a degree in industrial engineering in 1986, Isis has worked as an IT application consultant. It was only at the age of 53 that she started writing poems and stories again, inspired by encounters with other poets. Isis is also the author of the books "Prism of Solitude", "Magic of Introversion", "Poetry for my beloved Daughter-Volume 1" and the "Twin Flame Poetry" series.
