Maria Kryvenko poetic cycle review

Yet one more Ukrainian poet to be noticed!
She is bright, creative, self-assured and highly emotional, and, which is also alluring and unthinkably important, she is a poet, an actress, a deep critic and a remarkable author of political science theories and reviews.

Multitalented, multifaceted, aware of the Ukrainian language's fluency and semiotic richness, Maria puts one legend into another in her enigmatic yet strong poems.

In most cases images prevail over fabulaic notions, yet the overall tone and atmosphere of Maria's works are high, complicated and romantic.

Despite the inner conflict between nature and technology, the lyrical heroines in Maria's poems and stories seem to be harmonious and insightful.

These poems are recommended to be read in spring or autumn, and they will linger in the reader's heart for a long time.
