The one-volume book precedes the introduction by T. Kuzovleva "Brief biography of the journal."

About the work of Tatyana Kuzovleva in different years they wrote:

It is rare that I am 100% sure of a young poet. But then I read Kuzovleva’s poems, and her unfamiliar name immediately became close to me. Usually, after reading the manuscript, I return it to the young author, citing the fact that there is not enough space on my bookshelves. But today I will ask Kuzovlev to leave me a notebook of her poems so that I can please their comrades with them. Deep thought and real feelings are what attract me in Tatyana’s verses.

- Mikhail Svetlov , the newspaper "Moscow writer", 1962.

A metaphor is generally one of the most obvious signs of T. Kuzovleva’s poetry, and she is very capacious about her. This indicates the skill of the young writer, about her serious work in literature.

- Gennady Krasukhin , Moscow Magazine, 1963.

“My Tatarochka Russia!” ... verses - 1962. They were written at a time when they thought not so much about Slavs, Mongols, Tatars and various other Swedes, but about a Man, for the sake of whom all borders will be erased in the future. It took courage - at that time - to turn like this from the Future into the Past. Instead of "zemshara" see around you and in yourself - "Russia". And to decide on such a turn at a time when the thundering young literature of the sixties rushed to the Airports of neon and the gates of Cosmos. So, in the shadow of the global stage, - turn into "Rus" ... And besides - not at all, so that, resting on logs, curse all people for Russophobia, - but it’s so simple and natural to merge love and homeland together, walking along the line between wild lands: having affirmed “lyricism without intimacy, citizenship without rhetoric”. For such an act, a fair amount of courage was needed at that time. Plus subtlety. Plus knowledge of your mental task. And his spiritual strength. And weaknesses.

- Leo Anninsky ^[13] .

A consciousness of civic dignity does not prevent Kuzovleva from remaining a “weak woman” ... This is the charm of her lyrical heroine. Lyricism without intimacy, citizenship without rhetoric - these are the two hypostases that make up Tatyana Kuzovleva’s poetry.

- Julia Drunina ^[14] .

Tatyana Kuzovleva, in addition to thought, love, pain and other bricks of versification, has something else that can not be analyzed. Well, how to formulate a trembling pupil and chill in the back of the head?

- Leonid Zhukhovitsky , the newspaper "Evening Moscow", 1997.

Suffered. Hence there is so much wisdom, by the author himself open and generously presented to the reader. Hence the charm of a fearless, albeit chastely cautious conversation about the most secret, the most fragile and dear. Love is understood by the poet so multifaceted, so high, so humane and courageous, that obliges him to “keep his losses locked up”. Thank fate: “... I lost track of my years, thank you for not losing myself.” To sympathize with people, to help them, responding to every call of even a small disaster: “My concern is to listen and regret”. Love for a person, attentive and effective, conscientious and kind attitude towards him is actually quite rare. This is a special talent, and Tatyana Kuzovleva has it.

- Rimma Kazakova ^[15] .

"My precious days" Kuzovleva - her very personal and therefore unique contribution to the annals of Russian literature. A man devoted to literature, a poet and a contemporary of many remarkable poets, she wrote about those whom she knew, with whom she was friendly, with whom her ministry of Russian literature connected. There are so many personalities in these her memoirs that they are more like diaries, in which, not relying on the power of memory, the author writes down some seemingly trifles, not very seemingly significant details, small particulars of life and work, but which now, from ours already far away, they grow almost to symbols and, in any case, give us an invaluable opportunity to better understand and feel the time that has so recently responded to the word "today", but has inevitably become our "yesterday".
