Reviews
The opinion of Igor Melamed about the book "I'm Alive" -
To the reader who expects any stunning innovations from poetry, I would not recommend opening this book. Genuine poetry is always continuous. Both formally and substantively, Khrolova's poet is quite traditional. Her teachers can now be called all the "hackneyed" Akhmatova and Tsvetaeva (early). A more sophisticated reader will certainly notice the influence of George Ivanov, who, by the way, is dedicated to one of her poems (“Eternity is measured not by the measure of death ...”). From Ivanov - lapidarity, fragmentation of her poems, their mundane, mundane intonation, the ability to clearly call a spade a spade. But through all sorts of influences, Irina Khrolova's own unique voice miraculously breaks through. And such originality, like most classical poets, is not so much an identifiable series of special stylistic devices, this originality is felt more like the soul of a poem, cycle, book, creativity in general ...
