    Елена Лихач – это единственная поэтесса, за жизнь и творчеством которой я слежу. Меня зацепило то, что у нее нет пафоса, она не стремится собирать залы на своих литературных вечерах и зарабатывать своим талантом.

    Каждый год на осень беру себе новую книгу, которую буду читать вечерами. В этом году взяла сборник стихов Елены Александровны Лихач. Это мое первое знакомство с писательницей, до этого я читала только романы и не особо уделяла внимание стихотворениям. Теперь поняла, что зря. Даже в несколько строк можно вложить большую суть. Плюс не нужно следить за сюжетом и дочитывать до конца главы.

    Я помню, что читала Лихач Елену еще в начале 2000-х и тогда ее поэзия казалась супер-современной, сейчас же это больше классика в сравнении с тем, что пишут другие. Даже современным назвать не могу.
