Native. Chosen.

The collection features the best poems of Viktor Kiryushin, created over various years. Despite their lightness and musicality, the voice of time is distinctly heard in them, combined with a trusting tenderness towards the surrounding world. Utmost sincerity and conscientiousness, classical clarity of form, and the philosophical depth of lyrical thought have brought the poet well-deserved recognition. A discovery for readers will be the "Poetic Calendar of Russian Nature for Children." The lyrical miniatures of this cycle are imbued with love for nature, yet they are also informative. A separate section in the book is dedicated to translations. The collection is concluded with critical essays and reviews, allowing a deeper insight into the poet's work and to appreciate it duly.
