Opis

After numerous intellectual recognitions of the first six books of poetry "I am an eternal child of spring," "Life's Enigma," "Everyone wants to be HAPPY," "My Life, My Love," "I am the gardener of love," and "Amaretta di Saronno," followed by an acclaimed seventh prose book "A Russian rediscovers America," it is a great pleasure to introduce this irresistible eighth book of poetry, written by the esteemed poet Adolf P. Shvedchikov, who was nominated for the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature. This book is based on Dr. Shvedchikov's collection of poems, and on their translations in Russian. The book is divided in four chapters, and each poem in English is followed by its Russian version. This new metaphorical poetry book, which gives a new poetic image of the world and of its mysteries, with a language which is often allusive, gentle, pastoral, tender and philosophical, will have, together with the first seven books, an idiosyncratic place in the English and Russian literary environment.
