The Flight of the Angel: Poems

 

The poems of Elena Ishutina, included in the collection "The Flight of the Angel," can be called a sign of destiny. Light, ironic, emerging from the depths of the heart, diverse in themes, they will not leave anyone indifferent. This... is particularly evident from the reviews of the author's first book of poems "Melon-Moon," which was published in 2019. In principle, the success of this book strengthened Elena Ishutina's resolve to continue her creativity - to write poetry. As the author herself confessed, she never even thought about writing poetry... Elena Ishutina has several books on the psychology of success, employment, so-called "women's prose," even a novel about the destinies of ten classmates. Most of these books were in the "Bestseller" section of bookstores. Like last time ("Melon-Moon" 2019), the poetry book "The Flight of the Angel" is richly illustrated by the remarkable artist Olga Ogorodnikova, who has an astonishingly deep understanding of the author's poetry. Some illustrations are painted with watercolor, some are oil paintings, and there are even unusual graphics. To be honest, the works of Olga Ogorodnikova cannot be called illustrations. Each of them is a standalone work of art. If you are holding in your hands this lovingly written and beautifully illustrated little book, know that it is written for you. Perhaps you will find something very important for yourself in it...
