come from a literal family.
My
Aunt is a successful novelist and has written and published
a volume of books, in Russia. My interest in literature
stems from my childhood. I find writing very liberating,
I have always written. Writing for me began before music
and art.
My writing is mostly personal and related to me. Poetry
has been my window to the world around me.
In school I read and studied accomplished Russian poets
like, Pushkin, Esenin, Block and Axmatova whose works
I found most inspiring. I have written and published
three of my own poetry books.
I have written hundreds of poems
mainly in Russian. I began to write in English when
I arrived in England. I find writing poetry, an escape
for me, my writing is mostly spontaneous. Writing comes
easy for me. I mainly write when I’m on long joopurneys.
The poems I write are about me, and my personal experiences.
Poetry has
given me the freedom I
need to express myself. I find that by writing down
my thoughts I'm able not to think about them any more.
Poetry is the out lead to my emotions. I write mainly
about sad, and lonely things this theme is expressed
in my song lyrics as well and is reflected in my music
too.
