This is an automatically translated description
The title of Iryna Vikyrchak's poetry book Algometry is borrowed from the name of a space experiment that found that on Earth, people feel pain much more than in space. The term itself belongs to the field of medicine, neurology in particular, however, the author mentions physical pain the least in her poetry, showing her own emotional vulnerability, «hyperempathy» and inner strength. The book's triple corridor of thematic chapters leads us through reflections on the private past, the universal present, and the tenderly lyrical «always». Immersing ourselves in Iryna's newest poetry, we look into the world of childhood in the 1990s through the eyes of an adult millennial, look far into space, where God may be, and deep inside, where anything can be.
