Lyrical prose based on autobiographical material - this is, apparently, the most accurate way to characterize the stories and essays of the famous poet Larisa Miller presented in the book. Just as poems, each of which is valuable in itself, when collected in a book, acquire a new quality, so these laconic sketches merge, complement each other, forming a single narrative about the world, which is close and dear not only to the author, but also to the reader.
