Do You Love Me

Rimma Kazakova is one of the most poignant and beloved voices of poetry. Her poetic lines found a second life in famous songs: "My Beloved," "Do You Love Me," "Madonna," "Ariadna,"... The voice of the generation of the sixties, she proudly bore the title of poet-citizen, and her creative path became a model of fidelity to chosen themes and her audience. Kazakova's poetry is a combination of sincere personal intonation and a deep sense of responsibility to the times, of girlhood fragility and unyielding resilience, of clear words and philosophical thought. Her poems are about love without illusions, about women's fate, about memory and duty. Direct, devoid of pretension, but all the more resonant in the soul because of that. This collection is a meeting with a poet who speaks to you frankly, as to the closest friend.
