Her first collection of poems "It was with me" went to Baku in 1957. In 1960, Lisnyanskaya moved to Moscow, where in 1978 she took part in the creation of the non -certificate almanac "Metropol". In addition to it, the authors of the works printed in the collection were Vasily Aksenov, Vladimir Vysotsky, Evgeny Rein, Evgeny Popov, Victor Erofeev, Fazil Iskander and others.
