I am only at the start of my journey as a bilingual writer and have started submitting my work last year. I have written poetry, essays and short fiction.

As a part of my learning as a writer I have been studying in Moscow’s School of Literary Practice, Free University, Russian Chapter of Feminist Classes WLAG, small group workshops with author and poet Oksana Vasykina as well as auditing of ‘poetry and experiment’ course by poet Eoghan Walls in Lancaster.

I am interested in auto-biographical texts, creative non-fiction and poetry that shine light on experiences of emigration, conflict, scientific questions as well as deeply personal human experiences.

My first selection of poetry was recently published in Prosodia.

migration -fragmentaion

разные часовые  пояса  

                                              языки  

                                                              слова

мир растягивается

                    человек раскалывается  

                                                              распадается

и вот от него ничего не осталось.

—–

different time zones    

                                       languages   

                                                             words

as if the world is stretching

                                 the person  splits   

                                                       disintegrates

and now there is nothing left.

Orchestra of pain

I can’t help but look at you

and your wounds

I can’t stop myself from flipping through the pages

your life spills into and out of them

I can’t help but tremble inside when I hear gunpowder falling

the sound of heavy sand pouring out from our chests

when we suddenly howled in unison

from the pain inside – you and I.
