Opis

The expression "The Last Cicada" is one of dual interpretation. Simply, it could represent the very last insect, which at the end of the summer has taken residence in a warm corner of your home. Metaphorically speaking, it could be understood to mean the actual last of all cicadas, a kind of "Last of the Mohicans" and sole survivor of its type. Poets often, if not always, see themselves like spectators and outsiders rather than socializers. They don't easily merge with society. "The Last cicada" is no exception and is the idea with which this writer identifies with. Sing out loud until you gone Life is too short In this book the author Elena Sosnina has collected her thoughts and impressions from the year 2011. She warns the reader in the book's foreword, that this is not a personal blog. It is rather a volume of spontaneous insights, inspired through her experiences with various books, artworks, and events this past year. She has loosely divided her book into eight chapters, each of them featuring a certain poetic meter, from iamb to vers libre... All the aspects of the Universe exist in every moment of life, and all the poems written in one year at a poet's desk most certainly can represent the entire life of a living creature.
