I find myself reading the work of Lulzim Tafa and discovering his great talent in these very sad times, when Europe is torn apart by the Russia-Ukraine war and I am struck by his foresight from his verses on peace and war, literally mesmerized by the unique, innovative and unprecedented style of love verses. They are pleasant and subtle erotic references that show human passion, but there are also many compositions with allusions to death in the usual minuet between Eros and Thanatos. His poetry is a form of resistance, a form of testimony and protest.
