When You Are Young You

I Would Like People To Come Into My Dreamworld And Then Choose To Stay.

I Concentrate On The Lives Of Individuals Whom The Reader Comes To Know And Feel With Intimately.

I Didn't Choose Russia But Russia Chose Me. I Had Been Fascinated From An Early Age By The Culture, The Language, The Literature And The History To The Place.

The Poets Whom I Knew Then Were All Men And All Seemed Dauntingly Sure Of Themselves - Although I Am Sure That Really They Were As Uncertain As I Was.

When You Are Young You Don't Always Realise How Full Of Doubts Everybody Is.
