An artist writes with a brush and paints, a poet with words and images. The main idea of my book is poems - paintings, songs - paintings. Since I don’t know how to draw, it’s easier for me to convey frozen space and time, and with them the scenes seen or invented, in words in poetry and songs. Undoubtedly, it is easier to do this with the help of songs, because music enhances the desired poetic coloring. I invite readers to capture these poetic colors themselves and transfer them to an invisible canvas. This is my second book, which contains poems and lyrics from different creative periods. In them I describe the nature of my native land, the change of seasons, everyday life, and a bit of festival and concert life. I hope I will be able to open a poetic art gallery for you. So take the first step, turn this page and welcome! Mikhail Lysov.
