Here is a book in front of you. Still closed. Do not rush to open it: first close your eyes. Remember your childhood dreams, teenage dreams, good tales: a ship"s sail on the horizon, a shiny scales of a dragon. And now you can open.
This is not just a book - this is a casket in which they are stored under the cover, as if under glass, our children"s miracles. In any confrontation there is a third force: humanity and inner light, which we carry in ourselves children and often forget about it, being adults.
The pages of the book of Alexei Smekhov fill this human light, soft, like the evening sun, warm, like lake water, which so good to plunge - and wash off all the anxiety.
And let, the reader, the third force will affect you.
Half a century ago, on the far ocean flight, I wrote a song where there are such lines: “It is not scary to lose the ability to surprise. It is worse - to lose the ability to be surprised. The main thing for the poet is not to surprise the reader with unusual rhymes and metaphors, but to convey to him in his verses a joyful surprise to the world around him, to convince him that good still defeats evil, and life is beautiful. This is exactly what Alexei Smekhov does in his best verses, testifying to his unconditional poetic talent.

In general, this is a very joyful book, which is surprising for both the age of the author and for our era. Five to six poems from it would have done the honor of any author-and not only modern. And it is also written by an unconditionally good person, which gives the reader a chance to improve somewhat.
