About the book: 2017 / The source from which Zinaida Mirkina draws inner silence and strength for her poems is bottomless. But in order to stand next to him, you need to die to yourself, to everything that is inauthentic in yourself. If you haven’t gotten rid of at least something superficial, superficial in yourself, then you will definitely cast a shadow on the source and muddy it. A soul that has not been completely transformed must be inspired by something external in order to compose a poem, while a soul that has been transformed strives to remain silent as completely as possible. Through silence, poems come from the last depths, like a translation from Divine language into human. Recommended for a wide range of readers.
