• Description

  Nineveh This book of poems is a real historical document. But its significance is greater than documentary evidence of the war. It is the most important poetic chronicle of the historical tragedy caused by the Russian Federation's invasion of Ukraine, and how Ukrainians experience this ongoing tragedy. Poetic notes on the new life of a beautiful city, crippled by war, are intertwined here with observations of the new psychological norm of its inhabitants. Polyphony is the main quality of the language created by Galina in "Nineveh". Not only voices and intonations, not only languages ​​and cultural dialects, but also semantic perspectives. Therefore, in an overlap with the poetic chronicle, Galina develops a fantasy, somewhat reminiscent of Game of Thrones, but, ultimately, turns out to be a transformation of the same, military and siege existence. These two realities now and then overlap, overlap each other - this is what the best poems of the book are about. - Mark Lipovetsky
