Viktor Krivulin, born in a military hospital in 1944, felt like an unconscious witness, called upon to understand the war as a state that lasts, permeating today, and maybe tomorrow. Therefore, addressing her, conjuring her, Krivulin speaks on behalf of his generation, on behalf of the culture of which he was the keystone. This book and the poems included in it will not prevent or stop the war, but will allow you to look it in the face, expose it and resist it. The book contains poems from 1967-2000.
