Overcoming Sorrow

With an established reputation given by eight books, the first six books of poetry "I am an eternal child of spring," "Life's Enigma," "Everyone wants to be HAPPY," "My Life, My Love," "I am the gardener of love," and "Amaretta di Saronno," followed by a praised seventh prose book "A Russian rediscovers America," and the eighth, again a prodigious poetry book, "Parade of life," it is a great event to present this sublime ninth book, again of poetry, written by the leading poet Dr. Adolf P. Shvedchikov, who was nominated for the 2013 Nobel Prize in Literature. This book is based on Dr. Shvedchikov's collection of poems, and on their translations in Russian. The book is divided in three chapters, and each poem in English is followed by its Russian version. This new metaphysical poetry book, with unexpected chains of reasoning and incongruous mixes of the physical and spiritual worlds, with an exceptional proclivity for eternal love, will remain, together with the first eight books, on a distinctive and elevated place in the English and Russian literature.
