The collection of poems “Mango Slice” is the first book by the Kazakh poetess Valentina Khasanova. Lyrical, airy verses - this is how the well-known artist, poet and bard in Kazakhstan, Roman Potekhin, described her poetry, who expressed a desire to make illustrations for this book. The poems are intended for an audience who appreciates beauty and meaning in poetry. There are no age restrictions, poems are read by both men and women, songs based on her poems “FERRARI”, “Istanbul”, “My World” light up young people in clubs and discos, the lyrical songs “Heart”, “Night Rain” touch women's hearts of ladies of Balzac's age. Despite the fact that Valentina has been repeatedly published in various almanacs, newspapers, literary websites and is better known as a producer, this is her first book, which contains the most delicious, most elegant and most tender poems - slices, as she calls them. She associates love and all manifestations of this earthly feeling with the mango fruit - a symbol of love and prosperity. Having tried for the first time and tasted the fruit of love, a person wants to taste this exotic again and again, but like any exotic dish, not everyone can afford it and assimilate it. And even when a person already loves and seems to be happy, gets used to this feeling and continues to feed on it, eating love from the hands of a loved one, then even in these situations many begin to have a completely different reaction to love - this is jealousy, doubt, sadness, resentment and regret .The first part of the book contains poems about love and the whole range of feelings that accompany it. The second part, which is called “I am a woman, an actress, I play...” poems that reveal the inner world of the poetess. Here the author allows himself some frivolity and openness in expressing his feelings both to a man and to the world around him. The third part of the book contains poems written in different cities and countries, in Paris, Amsterdam, Cologne, Istanbul, Shymkent... The fourth and final part of the book shows the author as a sensitive nature who can see beauty in everyday things that surround a person every day, who can hear the sound of falling dewdrops, the sigh of flying petals. “Mango Slice” - poems for those who appreciate beauty, grace, who are able to see and understand the soul of the poetess, her world behind the lines. Many poems from the book “Mango Slice” have been written into songs that are played on radio stations and concert venues.
