Work of grief

“The Work of Green” is a new book of Vera’s poetry, which includes a hundred poems written in eight years. As Vera herself says, “this is a book that was going, accumulating, growing for seven years in a row: difficult years, during which three of my children were born, my marriage was concluded and crumbled, the usual picture of the world began and burst at the seam, and began The wars between the most dear countries to me, my friends passed away, people around me were miracles of emotional generosity or chose to betray everything that they proclaimed and loved when everything that I knew about myself, everything that I saw my future, time several times several times overturned and turned inside out. This is a book about how all these states are closely intertwined in us: powerlessness, bitterness, love, rage, humility, despair, rapture of the present. ”
