Introduction of author and the book
A new poetry book in French language titled ‘RIVAGE DE L’OUBLI’ (Shore of oblivion), authored by Nina Lys Affane, an eminent poetess, has been published in France, The book is the collection of 100-pages of a set of poems and sequences of ideas, finding a balance in the universe of the senses and allowing us to be in harmony with what we experience and with what we are.
To Nina Lys Affane writing consists in using words to say what we usually cannot say in order to rise from the ashes, an invitation to the world of the senses and the depths to free oneself, to purify oneself, to be reborn!
“In this collection of poetry Nina Lys Affane sometimes draws suffering and sorrow, and sometimes traces notes of love and affection with a skin-deep sensitivity, halfway through a present, becoming a recent past.
A muse that swings through the duality of dreams and reality.

Des «en pourparlers avec l’amour »
Au commencement,
source intarissable de création
ensuite, je me dirige vers «à la lisière du temps»
à la découverte de l’immensité de l’illusion
planant vers des sphères lointaines
pour partager mes «confessions»
je ne trouvais pas mieux
de visiter un « havre des sens »
tel un verger à multiples nuances…
j’ai raconté mes «fracas des sens»
A la recherche de l’apaisement…
j’ai travaillé intensément…
tant pensé pour retrouver
«le rivage de l’oubli»
Y jeter l’enfer des instants
La jalousie et méchanceté sans raisons
Ainsi le déclinement d’une saison
Et la nuit sombre vécue un moment.
Enfin mon rivage me sauve et me libère joyeusement…
