About this listen

This candid poetry collection is clearly the literary outpouring of a planetary citizen. A woman equally at home on the steppes of Central Asia as much as the capital cities of Europe. To my mind, a far from trivial verity once we recognize the innate femininity of her versification. Similarly to Sappho (5th Century BC), Nukenova allows everyone access into a woman's world, wherein seductive complexities of thought becomes manifest through wit and rhetoric. Admittedly, her images are often sharp - carefully elaborated for their own jovial sake.
