Alter Ego

The world of poetry is special. It is a world of deep, strong feelings, expressed in such a form that the words sound like the music of the soul. Many can feel and speak, but only a select few are given the gift of being poets. Today, almost anyone can write poetry, but in most cases these are either declarations of love or texts dedicated to some event - an anniversary, a holiday, etc. Usually, the poetic impulse comes at a certain age or arises in connection with some life scenario. Later, when feelings are balanced and scenarios are exhausted, amateur poets, as a rule, leave the stage. Philosophical reflections on life, loneliness and freedom, on happiness - always require poetic form. And it is philosophical poetry that has always remained in the mainstream of the literary tradition of Russian culture. The author of this collection successfully continues it. In many of his works, which simultaneously nourish both the heart and the mind, he finds unexpected angles even in the themes that are common in lyrical collections - about unrequited love, about women, about fate and predestination. The book is divided into four parts by structure, each of which is perceived as a separate collection. Thus, the reader receives not only convenient navigation, facilitating thematic orientation in the flow of poetry, but also a kind of bonus - "e;four in one"e;. And, finally, those who read the book to the end may discover another happy property of this poetry: you will want to reread it again.
