The image of a lyrical heroine runs through the entire book - wise, reflective, strong and optimistic. This is a maximalist with a Mona Lisa smile, she knows how and wants to love, never stops hoping and believing in spite of all adversity. The image of a girl, whimsically embodied in a birch trunk, sets the general tone for the lyrical narrative about feminine essence, devotion and love. Olga Alenskaya-Ershova’s poetry is characterized by unobtrusive autobiography, sincerity of emotional outburst, and song modulations of presentation. This is a hymn to a life that gives joy and trials, love and separation, pain and happiness, a life whose winter will certainly be replaced by spring.
