The Storm 2022 Flavia Crihana

The Storm is an emotional forecast of a soul defeated by patriarchal society that is trying to regain its balance back. Through her poems, the reader explores Orion's hidden and indecent thoughts and desires, dealing with love, life and the fear of death. The writer depicts her battle with mental health and honestly exposes her vulnerabilities, trying to find her place in a mad and insensitive world.
The main theme of The Storm is the search of Love as a perfect connection through mind, body and soul, as well as natural phenomenons used as a metaphor for Orion's deeper wounds and traumas. It also depicts the body as a decaying organism, and examines taboo topics as sexuality and female self-pleasuring.
