The poet and writer Alexandra Kryuchkova3434
  http://cyclowiki.org/wiki/Крючкова_Александра_Андреевна


[Закрыть] is an unusual person, worthy of respect and attention of the general public. I have been following her work for a long time, since she started to post her texts on the Internet3535
  https://stihi.ru/avtor/kriuchkova


[Закрыть] in 2001, and I can say, the author has greatly grown up. Amazing prose has appeared, some poems are deleted, many poems are rewritten, because Alexandra is constantly working on the Word, being a vivid example of those who passed a thorny path to the Literary Olympus, but never became famous in their country for a banal reason – the lack of contacts and money.

As for me, I like her works, they are non-standard, philosophically deep, metaphysical, but accessible to almost everyone. Of course, my article is just a drop in the ocean of information, however, sooner or later, «water dripping day by day wears the hardest rock away», it will play its role as well.

The works of Alexandra Kryuchkova have been partially translated into English [2, 158, 159, 183—188, 192], German [2, 157], Italian [2, 160], Bulgarian [2, 100] and Hungarian [2, 61, 62, 161] languages, and poems in Russian were published abroad in magazines «The New Renaissance» [2, 162—164] and «Russian Style» [2, 156] in Germany, in the magazine and newspaper of the international project of MediaGroup «Intelligent» by Sergey Pashkov [2, 165, 166].

I agree with Margarita Palshina, the journalist who wrote in the article for the Planet News in April 2020,

«Larisa Kuzminskaya, President of the Public Foundation for the promotion of contemporary poetry „SVETOCH“, at the literary salon on February 22, 2020, in Moscow, presented the poet and writer Alexandra Kryuchkova to the general public as a living classic. Of course, a writer, even appreciated during his lifetime by numerous victories on the Literary Olympus, is brought in the list of classics by time itself. However, in modern literature there are exceptional personalities, whose light is already noticeable now, whose works are a level higher than those published not only on social networks and on free publication platforms, but also the works of venerable authors of reputable literary magazines, because their words are infinitely alive and touch to the core, such as the prose and poetry of Alexandra Kryuchkova…» [168, 210].

In 2022, Alexandra Kryuchkova was nominated for the NOBEL PRIZE AWARD 2023 IN LITERATURE by two persons:

· Eugeny V. Stepanov5151

[Закрыть], doctor of philology, poet, CEO & President of the Union of Writers of the XXI Century, and

· Vladimir G. Boyarinov5252

[Закрыть], poet, Honored worker of culture of Russia, CEO of the Moscow City Organization of the Union of Writers of Russia [205—208].

No doubts, Alexandra Kryuchkova is one of the brightest phenomena in the literature of the beginning of the 21^st century, which, unfortunately, only our descendants will be able to fully appreciate, as Sergei Yesenin said, «You cannot see a face to face. Big things are seen in the distance…»
