A Sieve Filled With Berries

Liza Neklessa writes poems at once sensuous and robust: she describes a world where the overgrown debris of the Soviet era is the background for tenderness and infatuation. A Sieve Filled With Berries is a vindication of the distinct freedoms of the artist and the lover, and shows once again how the individual can never be fitted into any mass-produced or state-sponsored straitjacket.
