Honey and Smoke: Poems "Honey and Smoke" is a cantata book in which words have taste, color and smell. Poetry is a river that carries the bones of tradition and memory, which sink into the ground and are resurrected on it with nuts, corn, chicory and lilac. The collection is a mirror from which the man of the myth looks into the eyes of the reader." (Anna Shakel) "Maria Badzei's poems supposedly grew out of our land, filled with the voices of its trees, smells and colors of the spring flowers of the year. They draw deep, like water, but in this water - not only ours here, in it - imprints of the universe. These poems are honey for the ears, and smoke for the heart."
