Хрысціна Анастасія Верас Брзын, ЖАМЧУЖЫНЫ ВЕРШАЎ, poetry book by Kristina Anastasia Veras Brzin,

Book review:

This book in front of you is not ''just another poetry book'', it is more than a work of art, it is also a work of a slavic polyglot, a collection of poems in four different slavic languages. Therefore it is a novelty in literature, expanding the boundaries of language and expression. It is a work of art, a work of the heart, a work of Slavic brotherhood and a synergy of four different slavic languages. This collection of poems is therefore a poetic bridge of friendship and of mutual understanding between the slavic peoples. I warmly recommend this book to all readers who speak Russian, Belarusian, Serbian or Slovenian. You will be delighted and find yourself in the mirrors of the authors poetic expression.

At eleven, she began learning to play the Slovenian folk instrument, the zither, in music school. She continued writing poetry in Slovenian and later graduated from high school in Ljubljana. Due to health issues, she stopped engaging in creative activities for several years but resumed writing poetry at the age of 24 in 2011. That same year, she met her current husband, Luka Brzin, who also writes poetry in Slovenian and English. Her poetry has been published in several collections and literary societies.
