Publisher's Synopsis
This book of Russian poetry is formed by fragments of different time, as a geological structure during catastrophes. The lava of war that spilled out into the world on 24 February, 2022 generated about 40 poems written during the first 100 days of the war. This tectonic grief and anger I share with tens of thousands of Russian speakers all over the world who condemn this war. In the second part of the book are works sampled across many pre-war years. Under a layer of selected poems and dramatic sketches, you will find my youthful experiences, written in the USSR half a century ago-all about tyranny and freedom.
