Lethargy

A person unzips the body — this beige spacesuit, — steps over the crumpled folds and goes outside. Unlocks the door in the transparent chest — and images fly out of there, unexpected, like in a dream. Bright, like in... cinema. They move straight towards us. The effect of the "Train Approaching" by the Lumière brothers is triggered, but we want to experience this — and do not dodge. We want to see, hear, touch the wild invasion of meanings and beings. The world becomes clearer. The laws of the miraculous are triggered. This radical impact of beauty. This is surrealism in magnificent Russian. This is LETHARGY. Inga Kuznetsova — poet, prose writer. Author of poetic books: "Dreams of a Titmouse" 2002, "Inner Vision" 2010, "Aeronautics" 2012, "The Candor of Trees" 2016, a collection of poems "LETHARGY" 2019, as well as novels "Patchwork" 2017, "Interval" 2019, "Inside Out" 2020. Laureate of the "Triumph" and "Moscow Count" awards. Poems translated into English, French, German, Polish, Chinese, Serbian, Georgian, Ukrainian, and Belarusian languages; prose — into English. Critics consider Inga Kuznetsova one of the brightest contemporary surrealists. "Winter has come, it resembles eight. And a half." Vladimir SOROKIN, writer "I like this poetry." Lars von TRIER, film director "I really like Inga Kuznetsova's poems! So powerful and so unusual." Marina BRUSNIKINA, theater director
