Vera Polozkova is one of the most prominent Russian-language poets of the 21st century. The voice of a generation. Her poems explore both eternal and the most pressing contemporary themes. They reflect each of us. They contain everything: love, pain, birth, death, joy, war, rebirth. Vera has the ability to juggle words, transforming them into a combination of beautiful rhymes.

Some time ago, we met in Cyprus and talked about her life, her student years, humanity and war, creativity, adaptation to the new reality, as well as about her mother, children, and the significance of Ukraine and India in her life.
And also about geckos and her love of snow. It turned into a long and profound conversation. She is the new heroine of "How to Live?" Hurry and see!
