"This book is also a kind of herbarium. It includes poems by Father Jan Twardowski dedicated to plants. Some of these poems are funny, some are very serious – but all of them inspire for quiet and warm thoughts about the human world and the world of nature. Father Jan Twardowski lived in a cozy house at a monastery in the center of Warsaw and annually went to a village to rest from the city noise. There he collected herbarium and wrote poetry. The herbaria were amazingly beautiful, and the poetry – full of wisdom and simplicity. No wonder they are so liked by many people around the world! Pictures by Ukrainian and Polish children naturally supplement this unique herbarium by the poet-priest. All this forms a book with a unique atmosphere..."

Igor Pomerantsev proves that the new forms of the dialogue and of communication have transformed the notion of the erotic. However, the poetic forms that he uses make the "eternal themes" poignantly up-to-date, and poetic images – rather bordering on psychology than sexuality, as it was interpreted in the 20th century...

Perhaps, not every mom or dad know what a palindrome is (or spoonerism, or literary inversion). So, having looked through this cardboard book with their kids, they will be able to read phrases hidden in the pictures – both in the usual way, and... topsy turvy. The hint will be the specific "mirror" feature of the pictures.

These poems were composed by Israeli poet Tirza Atar. She composed them long ago, in the mid 70s. Sure, not about our reality – but about theirs, for the war has long been grown into normal lives of people there. And it is creepy that these poems – written on behalf of a seven year-old Jewish girl – are so much in unison with our reality..
