Yuly Kim is one of the brilliant first generation of Soviet singer-songwriters, or bards. His name is rightfully listed among such greats as Vysotsky, Okudzhava, Galich, Vizbor, and Matveeva...

Kim's lyrics have been set to music by many well-known composers and performed by some of the best Soviet actors in theater productions and movies, such as An Ordinary Miracle, 12 Chairs, Bumbarash, and others. These songs are widely known and very popular. Kim's portfolio also includes dozens of plays, stage adaptations, and librettos, performed on many stages.

In 1998, he became a citizen of Israel, which inspired a new, very important, theme in his work. Overall, his creative palette is impressively diverse, and his work is nothing if not entertaining.

What can I say? It was a year the wind was blowing; it was out of control. It had a way of getting on your nerves. It can be a powerful force to deal with. We like to control things, don't we? We like things calm, right? The wind is out of our control, and we find ways to deal with it. It was funny, I woke up one night, the wind was pounding, and I said, "I hear you wind." I gathered my pen and paper and started writing wind poems in the dark. The wind can be a pushy fellow. Our emotions can be pushy like that, forcing us to feel things we do not want to feel. I was inspired to mix the wind with emotions, with a sprinkling of advice, opinions, and imagination. That is what happens in a windstorm, everything gets blown around together. Some things stay, some blow away. The wind-I decided to have fun with it.Seven words: Be a powerful force like the windWind emotions advice opinions imagination faith truth

The poems in Wintering Over-to take shelter through, and within, the dark of the year-wrestle with a sacred yearning to embrace the light in darkness. Poems in the book's first half dwell with the interior lives of contemplatives the Arctic north.

The "dailyness" in a Vanessa Smith poem is never dull, and never what's expected. Her west-coast swagger is reminiscent of early Joni Mitchell - "my face, like an interview, / tells the most important / stories first." Her "uploaded anguish," is that of a speaker who "wipes daily dabs of lipstick on the car carpet," saturating the space, making a hole in its place. She sees that a "rolling wave held something back in response to the sand..." and finds a tragedy there. The daughter of a portrait painter, this painter/poet's first collection is clear-eyed and insightful, poetry that points to her inheritance, a vigilant and insistent gauging: "We wait, we dry out into plaster, and become the wall / The dry and cold of a California I never mastered is coming back in plumes."-Elaine Sexton, poet and critic, author of Drive and Prospect/Refuge This is so moving and delicate - the journey from caring for infants to looking after the elderly and their needs, and all the tenderness and sense of employment (and possibly enjoyment) both require. The rhythms of marriage and divorce work so well on the page. Smith is so right in what she says about January - the way it is always twice as long as any other month. I like the sense of the world in which every tiny thing counts for something and the cost of that on the heart and soul and the corresponding yield...-Susie Boyt, author of Loved and Missed and My Judy Garland Life Room Tone is wildly evanescent - traversing expanses of time and space, then spiraling into the palm of Smith's hand. ... [Her] poems are illuminated by a ferocious sense of beauty and tragedy, converging in sublime insight.-Broughton Coburn, author of The Vast Unknown and Aama in America In Room Tone, silence is rendered palpable through Vanessa Smith's hauntingly described scenes of life, love and loss. Whether it's observation or imagination, there's a meditative nature to her writing that will transport you to a state of personal reflection. This collection is a call to open your heart to the mysteries that surround us.-Sara Arnell, author of There Will Be Lobster: Memoir of A Midlife Crisis

Poetry is more than the written word, it is more than the language of love. Poetry is not just the expression of emotions, it is the language of elicited emotion. It is not just a method by which we express our emotions or our devotion, it is a language by which others receive it and experience it. High-brow people will tell you that a well-written poem has met a criteria for grammar, use of metaphor, punctuation and even iambic pentameter. I say to you that a well-written poem is the one that stirs your emotions good or bad and a great one is one that stirs your soul. if you have ever read something that has actually made you laugh or cry, then that was well written. I hope that what you find inside stirs in you, because everything within, I wrote because of her, to stir her, like all that she stirred in me.

The Buddha taught that pain is an inevitable part of life, but we inflict suffering on ourselves with needless anguish and angst over our desires to be rid of the pain, over fears of change and how wounds effect our lives, along with distress over losing what we hold dear and what we desire. Taoists locate the cause of most suffering and conflict in desires and greed, trying to regulate human actions with moral systems, laws, and norms of behavior rather than living in simple harmony and respect. These ventilated poems and writings are rooms where I had conversations with the mental, psychological, and spiritual suffering I experienced while dealing with physical pain over the course of the last two years - the mental suffering of angst, anxiety, and despair. They are conclusions of affection I found in living life fully experiential rather than playing dodgeball with its unpleasant moments.

I shan't behave as if the day's my last, For, at some point, there will be an outcast, And the people of Eden will complain;We'll gather experience and refrain, Until, with help, we discover our path: And we're happy, then, with all that we hath. The next person picks up where I left off, Though the bad will prattle and often scoff.Tortured minds live a dimension below, For they drive to a miserable glow, And compare instant gratificationWith all the good of sad mediation, Until, at last, they're insupportable, And they turn, if they live, to the table.It takes some of us a while to arrive, And yet, if we live, we remain ali

Seio Poético é uma coletânea poemas focada em diferentes eu-líricos femininos, dividido em seis partes (Faca Cega, Varal de Poesias, Pornochanchada, Canto dos Orixás, Cesariana e Seio Poético). A concepção desse livro surgiu a partir de uma pesquisa acadêmica sobre o eu-lírico feminino durante o período de pandemia, visando destacar a visão e a perspectiva feminina acerca do mundo, da vida e, principalmente, do "fazer poético".Nesse contexto, os poemas presentes nesta obra englobam questões contemporâneas e alguns tabus, trazendo reflexões acerca de imposições sociais, religiosidade, igualdade, liberdade, maternidade, opressão, amor, solidão, medo, dentre outras temáticas do universo feminino.Dessa forma, a obra traça um percurso sobre as mais diversas faces femininas num mundo fragmentado, complexo e plurissignificativo. As estruturas dos poemas são variadas, passando por diversas formas clássicas, mas também, muitas vezes, em versos livres e estruturas próprias do autor.Portanto, Seio Poético busca desnudar alguns dos anseios contemporâneos da realidade da vida de muitas mulheres, dando ênfase, principalmente, ao uso da metalinguagem ao traçar comparações entre os desafios do ato de escrever e do próprio ato de ser mulher, onde a poesia acaba sendo uma válvula de escape para as angústias do cotidiano feminino.
