'In this book, you will see potholes, loops, and dead ends. If you learn to write from the undergrowth, don't be afraid to get stuck and wander.'

In the poetry cycles that make up the book 'What I Think About,' Oksana Vasyakina continues to explore the dark corners of memory associated with family and personal experience, corporeality, and growing up. But this time, the writer's gaze is also focused on time itself: traveling through the 'wormholes' of her biography, she methodically records tectonic shifts in her own consciousness and the surrounding reality. A special place in the collection is occupied by 'Guro's Book' - a research poem, an attempt to penetrate the personal and artistic experience of the poet Elena Guro (1877-1913).

Oksana Vasyakina is a writer and winner of the Lyceum (2019) and NOS (2021) awards.
