What I Think About

"In this book you will see ditches, loops, and dead ends. If you learn to write in the underbrush - do not be afraid to get stuck and wander". In the poetic cycles that make up the book "What I... Think About", Oksana Vasyakina continues to explore the dark corners of memory related to family and personal experience, physicality, and growing up. But this time the writer's gaze is also focused on time as such: traveling through the "mole tunnels" of her biography, she methodically fixes the tectonic shifts in her own consciousness and the surrounding reality. A special place in the collection is occupied by "The Book of Guro" - a poem-research, an attempt to penetrate into the personal and artistic experience of the poetess Elena Guro (1877-1913).
