The author does not consider himself a poet. He wrote mainly in his youth, and who in his youth does not compose works about love and eternity? Moreover, even in 2003, reacting to the lamentations of one of the familiar members of the Union of Chosen Workers of the Pen, in response to a dispute, I composed 10 poems in a week (many of them are present in this collection). However, it happens that “amateurs” are much more interesting to read than “classics” . And, in our opinion, this case is precisely from this category. Moreover, Nikolai Sukhomozsky’s impromptu statements are unusual not only in the form of presentation, but also in content. Very often - very paradoxical! And one more thing: sometimes it is extremely difficult to determine what the author is serious about and what is a parody.
