Elena Schwartz's poems are bright, colorful, original, exotic, frivolous, filled with angels, devils, animals, mythological heroes, historical characters - the entire eclectic pantheon of modern cultural consciousness. But the poetry of Elena Schwartz is not frivolous or eclectic, because her two main characters are the Poet and God. The poems entertain and instruct, tell scary bedtime stories, play and console, gracefully dance and rush like lightning among the everyday, closely examine the world and prepare for its end. The book includes a poetic novel “The Works and Days of Lavinia...”, stylized as the notes of a medieval nun, comprehending the depth of the Divine spirit.
