Pros of Plus

in fact, the “Plus Poetry” festival itself deserves a huge, huge plus!
organization at a high level (everything was thought out to the smallest detail), an interesting dense program (free time only for lunch), eminent and talented guests (often there were two in one =D), a lot of soulful music (for example, Masha Zapolskikh and Chereskazan), films about Sosnora, Akhmatova and Lurie (meeting with director Nepevny), poems, poems, poems (it seemed that they were floating in the Vologda air, there was nothing to breathe =D)... still bright smiles of Nata Suchkova and Masha Suvorova... energy Elena Volkova... the care of Olga Kuznetsova (special thanks to her). in short, a lot, a lot of things =))

but I wrote the post not for a huge plus (which is obvious), but to note my personal little pluses:

I finally attended a full-fledged poetry festival, my poems were discussed at a seminar, I met (almost became friends) with the wonderful Anya Mamaenko (Krasnodar), the inquisitive Nastya Marina (Moscow), the mysterious Nastya Zhuravleva (Nizhny Tagil)... and talked with critic Evgenia Vezhlyan (they discussed not only the freedom of criticism, but also the freedom of “PUSSY RIOT” =D), moreover, they agreed that I would attend Evgenia’s seminars during the session in Moscow.

I am very pleased with these pluses and purchases =)

bonus: this is how we rode in the poetic trolleybus

and what was the Moscow poet and critic Boris Kutenkov doing at that time?
