Puthja e fundit

Puthja e fundit (The last kiss), of Irma Kurti, published in 2007 is a summary of poems dedicated to her mother, Sherife Kurti.

There are 65 poems in it, the first part of which keep the pain for the loss of her most beloved person. They present with vivid colours the reality that the poet is living day by day. Such poems as: “Ti s’mund të ikësh” (You can’t leave), “Doja të të thosha” (I would like to tell you), “Sekrete” (Secrets), “Në krahët e mi” (In my arms), “Takove vdekjen” (You met the death) are full of feeling and emotion, tears and desperation as Kurti touches day by day the drama of losing her mother. The poems are simple, they look like a dialogue with the reader and Irma Kurti manages to convey her message in a very natural way.

These feelings seem to prevail even in the second part of the book, divided as: “Lyrics”. The pain has become part of her and although she is always in search of love, most of the time she seems not able to love, to enjoy the lights, the sun, the songs of the spring.
