In a growingly divided yet globalized world, she observes the prism of societal atomization on intimacy and personal feelings. She is on a pursuit through time (ancient–modern) and through space, (different culture–language) to magnify ways and thoughts on tenderness and similar tangential human expressions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eIn 2015, Karine Leno Ancellin cofounded a poetry association, \u003cem\u003eA Poets’ Agora,\u003c\/em\u003e with Angela Lyras.
