Книга "At Night She Talks to Me in Riddles: A Collection of Poetry, Short Stories, and a Play " Anna Ufaeva

Dissolving in tears and reaching for the sun as trustfully, living is infused with love: honest, greedy, self-sabotaging, hopeful, raw, earth-shattering, equivocating.
“At night she talks to me in riddles” seeks to celebrate life in all her manifestations and tempests, savoring the fleeting moment yet not being able to settle for a slower pace, the impossibility of waiting.
This collection of contemporary poetry, short stories, and the play “Group Therapy” depicts what it feels like to put yourself on the brink, in the very extremities, both out of ennui and deliberation, denial of clichéd and patterned art in an attempt to decipher and make sense of the events: the real, imaginary, and conjured up. Throughout the book, written over four coming-of-age years, Anna Ufaeva witnesses inevitable changes and confrontations with her past and present selves.
It’s those hastily jotted-down sparks on the back of the hand and restless reflections on what happened before drifting to sleep — the paradox of trying to throw it to the wind and commit to memory, too.
The impressions of the people the author met found themselves on the pages in unrecognizable figures as they walked on the tightrope at some intersection, happening to life as much as it did to them.
The book resembles a breathing bag in which fears are confined to subside eventually. It’s about finding peace and thriving in the chaos that dismantles itself onto the shelves when you look into its epicenter.
It’s a lavish toast to missed and caught trains, roaming around and opening to new experiences as a means of healing, unanswered questions, insomnia, the pursuit of wellness and beauty, immoderation, accidental and unaccidental encounters, taken-aback expectations, and little multitudes under the sun to be grateful for — maybe not now, but in the long run.
