Назикен Алпамыскызы “Қияжол ғұмыр” (Kazakh Edition)
It is understood: not all verses are poetry. This indisputable truth was especially strongly inspired by the tribesmen of Abai.
Alas, now it seems to me that Kazakh poetry is very liquefied and clogged. There are many verses and poets in excess, but poetry is sparse. A lot of people are now simply bewildered with words and rattle.
Naziken is an exception. She scrupulously and demandingly treats the word with scrupulousness, carefully refines thought, avoids banality, passage lines, erased expressions, resorts to complicated metaphors, unexpected comparisons, and philosophical associations.

Марина Михайловская “40 храмов” (Russian Edition)
Agree that a person, having received a certain gift from above, in the process of realizing his talent, i.e. in the process of creative creation, he cognizes himself. In other words, the path of creativity is the path of quest and self-knowledge. This idea is confirmed in the poetry of Marina Mikhailovskaya. In the preface to her book of poems “40 Temples,” the author points to the “three main turning points” in her life and work. The poetess calls them “Pain!”, “Love!”, “Philosophy!” They are the navigators of her work. Let’s talk about them … The pain experienced by Marina after the tragic death of her mother, her mother, was the impetus for writing the first poem. Her heart is crying.
Anastasia Kuzmicheva “Belarusian Whales”
The title of Anastasiya Kuzmicheva’s work “Belarusian Whales” invites readers into a world of contradictions and doubts. Indeed, while reading these verses one grasps the apparently conflicting depths of the author’s own point of view – thanks to wide and clever usage of poetic figures. As such, her sky is “always without make-up“, while her brain “will wipe the dream-like dust”. Meanwhile, warmth, light, shame, and love, are created through the imagery surrounding a “white temple” ….. an antithesis to previous assertions. Overall, this poet’s irony seems to be both subtle and comical, since one encounters lines like: “a whale escaped like all men” as a clear critique of average truth claims. Hence, those parts of the poem devoted to meaningful answers and pithy solutions remain the largest section of the entire composition. Albeit quickly followed by more questions. Curiously, neither “who”, nor “what” the whales represent is ever outlined. Instead, a sense of intelligent mystery points to “the names of chapters” as our only clue. After all, we already know that “ …everyone saw the whale…”, which leaves each reader to make up his, or her, own mind in this regard.
Nadezhda Kolesnikova
In “Belarusian Whales” – Anastasia Kuzmicheva stuffs you into the back pocket of her stylish poetry jeans and takes you step by step on a kinetic journey of self and others discovery. For us poets, whether in remission or active, should create delightful visceral reactions – pulling at the invisible fascia between the conscious and subconscious.
