Aleksey Kashcheev is a practicing neurosurgeon, candidate of medical sciences, poet, popular blogger, finalist of the Debut literary award. His poems were published in Novaya Gazeta, magazines Day and Night, Continent, New Writers, Prologue and many others. According to literary critic Lev Oborin, “Aleksey Kashcheev’s poems travel along the map of extreme human emotions - from suddenly rolling sentimentality to deadly irony, from fear to delight. However, at the most necessary moment, Kashcheev, a neurosurgeon by profession, knows how to psychologically step back and, using emotions as tools, “make” the text, give it completeness. You will enjoy these poems if you are interested in human character in poetry."
