This is a book of poems by St. Petersburg (however, already Lugansk) poetess and journalist Anna Dolgareva, author of the collections “Time to Wait” and “Chronicles of Internal Combustion.” And it talks about the three most terrible and important things in the world: death, war and love. Death happens to everyone, war happens to many, and not everyone gets true love. There is a lot of fire in Anna Dolgareva's poems. The elements rage on the pages: fire, water, earth, air. Often they are cramped within the framework of classical verse: the rhythm breaks, the rhyme scheme changes on the fly; “in a decade under siege, where black snow falls,” it must be impossible to do otherwise. These are poems about pain, about loneliness, about longing. But there is also hope - that there is no death, that somewhere beyond the border a “bright wind” is blowing, there is a sky, and in this sky there are “rainbows of rockers.” Hope that there, beyond the threshold, nothing is over.
