True mastery of metaphor and imagery. Tyjana is able to conjure wide scenes with such specificity into your minds, setting the scene for her emotionally charged moments. With traditional influences of literature and mythology, their poetry is always rich and deeply satisfying – both emotionally and intellectually.
