A LONE VOICE OF FLAUTINO OR BIASSED NOTES ON THE POETRY OF IRINA KADOCHNIKOVA

Irina Kadochnikova is a young poet from the city of Izhevsk. To date, she issued two poetic collections. What distinguishes her poetry is a complete sincerity, and what dominates it is a genre of lyric poem. Irina's poems divide into philosophical, paysage or love lyrics but all divisions irrespective, her personal poetic universe is largely overshadowed with a thought that looks - almost without exception - as inwardly brought out one. Not infrequently, it is a kind of philosophical comprehension of space and a wish for to be lost in its extension or thinking about actual being, alternative being and probable images of the latter, etc. Yet the focal point of the Irina’s lyrics is solitude. She considers loneliness as the only true way to self-knowledge. Solitude appears to be for Irina more precious good than love. Indeed, love occupies a rather modest corner within her poetry; in a few love poems love is actually identified with liberty deprivation. At the same time, thanks to her honesty to herself as well as absence of any intentional self-posture in front of readers the stronger apology for solitude in her poems the more discernible become the tragic tunes of so wanted solitude. As to the means of expression characteristic for the Irina’s poetry, their trajectory is clear - from moderate sophistication of her poetic language in her earlier poems towards both growing originality and generous simplicity in those pieces of poetry that appeared later. Also, throughout her creative way Kadochnikova has been very successful in using the metaphor; sometimes she transfigures the whole poem into expressive metaphor. There are just thanks to these characteristics that the Kadochnikova’s poetry gained sound of minor flute flautino in its perception by the author of the article.
