Books & writing
Poetry
This volume is not “poetry” in the classical sense — but rather a record of a lyrical voice that once emerged, then fell silent for many years.
Children’s tales
The stories in this book are not a neatly curated collection, that follows one theme. Instead, they are silly tales, soft echoes of folklore, quiet tragedies, dreamlike metaphors, cultural shadows, fragments of childhood fears, and small flickers of hope. You may find traces of Hans Christian Andersen or the darker edges of Grimm — with the emotional richness rooted in the artistic traditions of Central and Eastern Europe, where beauty is rarely separated from sorrow.
