"This book consists of two parts. The first one is pre—war, which contained several texts written in Moscow, my departure from Russia in 2018, and life in Vilnius and Riga. The second was a terrible war year, which turned out to be only the first, despite all the horror and absurdity. There is a line of contact between them, a line of life ending in death before our eyes.I really love everyone who has read these still warm texts, helped to edit them and helped to live. This is your book, too, if I am worthy of it: wife Maria, daughter Alice, son Daniel; the authors who gave the reviews are Demyan Kudryavtsev, Linor Goralik, Thomas Venclova; Elena Fanailova, who wrote the opening text of this book; Mikhail Eisenberg, who helped edit the collection; Dmitry Kuzmin, to whom I have been saving up since the beginning of the nineties for his global, guiding understanding of modern poetry."Konstantin Rubakhin The book's cover was created by the famous illustrator Victor Melamed.
