”In the book Velvet Steps, the author steps lightly, as of velvet, as if protecting the earth from crushing the experience of the present moment. The readers will find themselves in the book Velvet Steps because it represents, in fact, the steps of all of us through life, sprinkled with memories of childhood, youth, the face of loved ones, and various joys and hardships. I, therefore, invite you to discover the secrets of this volume of poems springing from the soul of the author Mihaela CD and offered with so much generosity to you, the readers, for your souls! ”

‘‘The polychromatic fan of the global activities of this Lady of the Romanian literature, urges me to present it below so that the reader can understand: Mihaela CD is a writer, poet, editor, columnist, lyricist, cultural promoter, traditional and digital artist, she is member of the Writers Union of Canada, member of the World Poets Association – Romania, President of the World Poets Association – Canada (…)The poetry in this volume relies on intuition and on unadulterated moral fenomenons. It has the sensitivity of a permanence that is both heroic and erotic. Being phenomenological regressive, it regards time as a progressive repetition of an anthropological native self. The poet’s romance is a sign of universality, an old Romanian expression of the balance of the worlds above and below. Besides, there is the moral-erotic and moral-heroic intuition and the exemplarity of a humanity whose chronicle consists of effigies. Ultimately, in Mihaela CD’s poetry there is a depth of the lived ontological perspectives exemplifying the spiritualism with its ecstasy. There is a close homogeneity between what is being created and what is being lived. So, the poet embodies a universal existence, not devoid of philosophically resounding drama, but detached from the experience and the incommunicable feelings.”

About the book VELVET STEPS
”In this volume, we encounter a mature and harmoniously developed writing style, defining the profile of the poet. It dissipates like velvet steps, and through them, it gathers into a self-discovery, transforming into self-giving. In fact, that is what the poet does: she gives herself through the word of the poem, following her creed with dignity! The book is written in warm tones, sprinkled with aesthetic constructions that invite reflections. It is a confessional poetry that induces a state of grace in the reader, that of true feelings, of elevated emotions, in a creatively imaginative therapy through the Word, which settles like peace on the soul. A poetic universe with its own rhythm, with ineffable experiences, with a special emotional load, with states that bring hope and tranquility. A universe where people mean and sow love, and Poetry is a fulfilling love, sometimes even salvific. Surely, Poetry is not of earthly origin; it is cosmic, divine in nature. It is a gift offered to humanity in this hostile and unknown universe. It defines the human spirit, nourishes it, and helps it survive. Beyond being an existential state, Poetry, through this volume, is a way of living in a high and affective manner, where words themselves transform into emotions, into the intimacy of silence, into a time overflowing with feelings, where intuition carries us through the poetess’s time, to find the essences in the heart of the great Invisible. This angel, Poetry, which clothes our being, helps us once again to know and integrate ourselves into this universe so much covered in mystery. If you happen to pick up a book by the author, it tempts you from the beginning, just like this one. You find in it sparks, revelations, pain, and love. You feel its vibration, and in the end, you resonate with it. In her poems, you find an emotional charge, a beauty, a modesty, a dignity that gives the author poetic identity in relation to others and to existence itself. The book is constructive, it is the icon of the poetess’s soul, a path to light, a path to God. We thank the writer Mihaela CD for this wonderful gift and for existing in our lives! A wonderful person, a poetess to measure, who, in resonance with the poets of the world and readers, raises a Temple from Poetry. We wish a long life to the book through its readers and eagerly await the next editorial appearances!”

”In this volume of poetry, we find an honest and unique approach to the moment we are all going through these times and whose echoes are fully felt in the author’s poems, to which she dedicates a whole chapter.
Thus, we will find in Mihaela CD’s poems from the “Pandemic Struggles” chapter a disturbing and intense rendering of feelings of sadness, helplessness, confusion, suffering, threat, division, distancing, loneliness, and the distance that humanity is experiencing in these unprecedented deaths. There is a commotion and a revolt in the author’s soul: “Revolt is in my wandering soul/ It hurts, and it torments my mind/ And in the night of worries I tremble”, but, at the same time, she does not lose hope of finding a saving miracle.
In the book Velvet Steps, the author steps lightly, as of velvet, as if protecting the earth from crushing the experience of the present moment. The readers will find themselves in the book Velvet Steps because it represents, in fact, the steps of all of us through life, sprinkled with memories of childhood, youth, the face of loved ones, and various joys and hardships.
I, therefore, invite you to discover the secrets of this volume of poems springing from the soul of the author Mihaela CD and offered with so much generosity to you, the readers, for your souls! ”

The great allegories – of death, love, living in nature, passion for the old, theological sense come from a verified cultural expression: the universality of the drama of an exponential self is enhanced by the intelligibility of cultural models.”

”Mihaela CD has a lyrical voice full of courage in which the love becomes tangible, written with words like life, of remarkable success. She does it with love, mastery and the satisfaction of the pure, precious soul she bestows to the reader. Superb is to say the least. The poet stands out through her style perfected in the whirlwind of time, with artistic talent rich in perfect versification. Her verse is rich in metaphors and style figures full of pathos.
The melody with a soft breeze of the poet’s lyrics under the sign of sincerity flourish in the power of the beauty of the poet who gives herself to the soul full of charm and overwhelming magic in her volume Velvet Steps. We are witnessing plethora of verses that fill the soul and, like bird trills, form a lyrical madrigal.
If you have the privilege of reading this book, you will notice that the poet’s grace carries the readers emotionally and aesthetically on the steep steps of verses. You will see that the poet’s soul has no limits because the poet writes from the soul and for souls, twins with nature, with light, and envelops herself with the serene, inner musicality and the creative poetic expression, which confirms the value of the state of the volume of poetry for the soul.
After reading the book, you get a feeling of regret that it finished so quickly because lyricism characterizes it, and it gives its well-deserved laurels because the book Velvet Steps is a literary masterpiece by the poet Mihaela CD.”
