THE POETRY BOOKS written by Vitaly Kalpidi

"Eyelashes" - is a book about the happiness of being unhappy, about death which is - life, about fear - which is the biggest illusion...
     

"Hacker" - in this book the author tried to "hack" into several traditional themes of Russian poetry to test them for durability, sincerity and truthfulness.
   

"Shimmer" - is a book of global defeat. The poems are accompanied by the author's commentaries, the sense of which is to follow the fight of the psyche of the language with the psyche of the author at the moment of writing. The chapter "Garden of the Dead" consists of the poems in which the author was trying to conduct a dialogue with death...
     
     
"Odours of Shame" - is a book where each poem is written twice: an attempt to walk into the same water several times, avoiding repetition. The book is complex in its simplicity and simple in its complexity.
