“Hot Chord” is Sasha Irbe’s fifth book of poetry, in which she decided to abandon the collection’s strictly structured canvas. The poems are associated with two turning points in her life, and at times it may seem that they were written by different authors. But there is something in common that unites the poems of Sasha Irbe, in the words of Nina Krasnova, “the most reverent and most refined soul in our young poetry,” is sincerity on the verge of confession, drama, a special rhythmic pattern. Multiple prize-winner and winner of the international literary competition “ All the Royal Men", winner of the literary competitions "Ellipsis", "Golden Microphone" and others. Laureate of the Grushinsky competition in the “Poetry” category. Author of the texts of the poetic performances “Poetry to the Drums” and “Five Words about Farewell” based on “The Poem of Ecstasy” and “The Poem of Fire” by A. N. Scriabin.
