Terrible times reveal the true value of poetry. Vera Polozkova's sixth book of poetry contains poems written from 2021 to 2024, during a bitter time of loss: of home, friends, peace, and the closest person—her mother. But it is also a time of finding new meaning and a new life. Alongside new poems are texts that became famous in past years, but read completely differently today.
Lost and Found is an endless journey of consolation for its readers and loved ones scattered around the world. Most of the photographs in the book were taken by Vera during these same years.
