The Platinum Moon / Evie Ivy
Evie Ivy’s work contains the flavor of the dance, particularly the graceful Oriental dance (a/k/a belly dancing), of which she is an instructor, being a practitioner from her youth.
The mysteries of the night and the secrets of the sacred writings, the rites, the trance—induced by the repetition of the chants, the stars contemplated from the mystical vision of the ancient Egyptian and Greek peoples—all have a place in her writings.
However, the world of Evie Ivy is also that of the senses and of the everyday, the things to which we do not normally pay attention, but which powerfully influence our lives, although we are not aware of it. The poet rescues, in memorable lines, moments that allude to the tactile, the aromas, the mirages that we prefer to ignore and the significant coincidences to which we should always be attentive.
