From this book, by the New York bonded russian poetess Elena Sosnina, you get a feeling of a constant searching. What is the meaning of life? What am I? What is After? What are the answers to these philosophical, yet primal human questions? The poems represent this quest in a cluster of rhythmically fascinating, cleverly rhymed, and emotionally charged poems, in which the characters, very well defined and almost touchable, are immediately recognized by the readers in an "It's all about me " kind of fashion. All this done within an array of feelings, situations, and places, outlined in...

Elena Sosnina Julia Gavrilenk Constantine Mihaltses
When a poet finds her old notebooks, filled with verses which she authored 20 years ago, it can lead to feelings of self-mockery since what she once wrote seems childish and naive to her now. On the other hand, the lyricism of youth and expressions of romance, bitterness, and disenchantment of the young at heart are dearly missed by the more mature, or shall we say aged, writer. The book "Love Meter" introduces us to Elena Sosnina's "rosy" period, where the classic style of an even and harmonious metering system is evident. She combined those early love poems with the urbanistic ones from...

The Russian poet Elena Sosnina calls her second book of poetry a winter book, as opposed to designating her first book of poems a fall book. The inspiration for the sequel stems from the colder months of winter, when scholarliness is in full bloom amidst a world of graph-paper, class schedules, and test preps. Within the varying poetic themes, such as a Russian Radio interview and a Marilyn Monroe biopic, the book "Mixed Feelings" is all about grading, finalizing, and summing up life's unique and sometimes ambiguous experiences.

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...
