Polina Slutskina (born as Pauline Landon in
1947) is a philologist, artist, poet, writer, and
photographer who started publishing her works in
the 1990s. She worked in Moscow as an English
teacher but studied also Japanese language and
culture. For the publication of this collection of her
poetry, Goppe used the backside of an old Soviet
poster to print on the verses in hand setting and
adorned these with small square silk screen
illustrations mounted next to the text.
