Soskreb

'Soskreb' - poeticheskiy sbornik, v kotorom stalkivayutsya nevozmozhnost pisma vo vremena katastrofy i poisk yazyka dlya razgovora o strashnom, tyazhelom i stydnom. Issledovatelnitsa literatury i antropologii blokadnogo Leningrada, Polina Barskova pogruzhaet chitatelya v dialog nastoyashchego s proshlym - ne v poiskakh obraztsov ili orientirov, no v popytke osmyslit i progovorit opyt utraty, gorya i styda - ochen lichnyy, no, v to zhe vremya, uznavaemyy i znakomyy. Dlya nee poeziya stanovitsya delom, kotoroe delaesh, ne ozhidaya ot nego radosti ili katarsisa, no kotoroe ostaetsya formoy prisutstviya i kontakta s realnostyu - 'utesheniem bez utesheniya'.'Barskova - poet razvernutoy prozaicheskoy frazy. Ona dogovarivaet kazhduyu iz etikh fraz do kontsa, sopostavlyaet s vozmozhnymi variantami, peremalyvaet vo rtu. I esli stikh ee pri etom - ne sploshnoy verlibr, a slozhnaya balansirovka mezhdu svobodnym i regulyarnym stikhom, to eto potomu, chto sami (peterburgskie) frazy etogo khotyat. I - na drugom urovne: Barskova - poet pryamogo avtobiograficheskogo vyskazyvaniya, i esli subekt i soderzhanie rechi okazyvayutsya u nee slozhnymi, dvoyatsya i troyatsya, to eto potomu, chto v ee realnosti (toy realnosti, kotoruyu porodil ee dialog s gorodom, voynami i prizrakami) skuchno byt vsego lish samim soboy'. - Valeriy Shubinskiy, 'Kvarta'.
