Stronger than Fear. A Collection of Poems

Kristina Novikova is a contemporary poetess, laureate of the International Pushkin Prize, actively touring the country with poetry evenings. Her work is characterized by a soft style, themes of vulnerability and self-discovery.

I have always been scared: to live, to love, to strive for something, because I thought I wouldn't be able to. But you hold my book in your hands, which means I managed to win this battle with fear. And if I succeeded, then you can too...

I want this collection to be a small beacon for you - about how much we are capable of if we are not afraid to dream, to love, and to live.
I don't want to teach anyone, correct or convince anyone.
I just want to be there in those moments when it is really needed.
Because I am scared too.
But you believe in me, and I believe in you, so maybe we shouldn't be afraid anymore?
