Question 1

You have over 50 projects. How do you manage, given such varied topics?

Accepted Answer

I think it's not about speed, but about doing it constantly — without forcing myself. When there's no internal compulsion, ideas come more easily. Different topics don't frighten me — on the contrary, they give me room to breathe. Switching from lyrics to humor, from books to songs, I don't lose myself — I find different facets of myself and my work.

Question 2

Why didn't you stick to one genre? Isn't it too broad a range?

Accepted Answer

I'm convinced the era of narrow specialists in literature is passing. Lyrics and humor for me are not different professions — they're different lighting on the same person. In the morning he watches the sunset and writes about love. In the evening he laughs at himself. It's the same person.

Question 3

Why did the pandemic become the subject of a book?

Accepted Answer

Because it was a moment when everyone around was lost at the same time. Everyone was scared, angry, arguing fiercely. And I thought: what if we just laugh? Not meanly, not sarcastically — but kindly. Humor for me is not a way to escape pain, but a way to come to terms with it.

Question 4

"Adventures of Boy Kesha" — how personal is this story?

Accepted Answer

Very personal. Childhood, growing up, a country at a turning point — all filtered through my own memory. I wrote this novella while laughing and feeling sad — sometimes on the same page. Kesha is me, but a little more than just me. He's a collective image of a boy from that era.

Question 5

The home education book stands apart. Where did it come from?

Accepted Answer

It came from life — I went through this as a parent myself. There are so many myths and misunderstandings around homeschooling that I wanted to write honestly and humanely: not propaganda or a horror story, but simply — how it actually works. In plain language, without being boring.

Question 6

Audiobooks with different narrators in one work — why?

Accepted Answer

Different voices hear different things in the text: one narrator emphasizes irony, another finds quiet sadness. It's like different interpretations of the same musical piece — each conductor reads the score their own way. Living literature isn't the same for everyone — it's always slightly different.

Question 7

Which format is best for your books — print, e-book, or audio?

Accepted Answer

It depends on the book and the mood. I recommend listening to poetry — intonation, breath, and pause matter there. Prose is more pleasant to read with your eyes — you can stop and return. Literary analysis books work well in digital format. I'm glad readers have a choice today — that feels right.

Question 8

How do you feel about claims that poetry is rarely read today?

Accepted Answer

With a smile. Poetry has always been read by few — it's just that no one talked about it so loudly before. The true poetry reader hasn't gone anywhere — they simply don't make noise. They read quietly, for themselves. Real poems are an intimacy for the soul. They're not for mass consumption.

Question 9

Can I write to you directly — as a reader, as a fan?

Accepted Answer

Of course, and I'm always glad! Write to me on VKontakte — the page «voskresenskiypoetry». I try to respond to everyone, just not always immediately — don't get lost if my reply comes a day late. Letters from readers remind me that my words reached someone.

Question 10

Are you planning new projects?

Accepted Answer

Always — it's a constant background state. I intentionally don't name specific titles: a creative idea loves silence. I'll say one thing: the next project will be unlike the previous one. Repeating yourself is not interesting — for me, or I hope, for the reader.
