Uncertain Times (Paperback)

Paperback. A life lived between three worlds. A trilingual journey in English, Russian, and Spanish. Why English? Simply because I have lived in the United States for thirty-five years; it has become the language of my daily life, my second home, and the lens through which I see the world today.And why Spanish? In my view, we Russians share a deep bond with the Spanish people-in how we feel and how we react to life. The British and Americans are different, more pragmatic. In the Spanish language, I found the specific colors that best suited my Russian verses. Uncertain Times isn't just a book of verse; it's a map of a life lived across decades and borders. Alexander Sosnow brings together a multilingual collection that spans the distance from Soviet-era Siberia to the pulse of modern America. These poems were born in Russian-carrying the weight of classical rhythm and rhyme-and have been carefully translated into English and Spanish. The goal wasn't to force a strict meter in every language, but to keep the raw emotional pulse and meaning intact for every reader. These poems live in the tension between two worlds-the quiet isolation of New York and the snow-blinding memories of a landscape left behind. It's a book about displacement and the lonely search for where we belong. You'll find everything from deep philosophical questions to narrative pieces with a touch of irony. At its core, Uncertain Times asks a single, haunting question: What stays the same when everything else-your country, your language, and even your identity-changes? This is an honest, unvarnished look at the human experience that invites you to do more than just read. It invites you to feel. This item is printed on demand.
