With her new poetry book, bearing the notably significant title "Popular & Blues," Charitini Xidi fully immerses herself poetically into the idiomatic atmospheres and emotional contents of the two musical genres. Intensely atmospheric and simultaneously human, the lyrically powerful images create an escape into the mythology of folk songs and blues. There is an immediacy of expression and interactive reflection in a more subtle, suggestive frame. A beautiful and also self-subverting discourse. The language of the heart, above all. Love, of course, is omnipresent in the poems, encompassing the entire range of its emotions and tensions.

In her new book, Charitini Xidi writes not in a mixed style, but in a fully unifying and integrated manner, highlighting the great value of the two genres through the language of poetic verse. At the same time, poetry through this communication acquires a different color, a different essence and substance, and certainly a different ethos.
