Workshop of the word “- this is how the organizers outlined the topic of today’s creative meeting with schoolchildren of Medvezhyegorsk district. Since the meeting was held in an online format, students of the Northern College of Segezha also joined in.

I told the guys about the Sever magazine and my books. Everyone really liked the game “Tell me a word” that I proposed, during which I showed the difference between poetry and poetic text. After all, rhymed text can be written by everyone. And there are only a few poets. Judging by the attentive faces of the participants, this conversation turned out to be useful for the children and teachers.

I thank Yelena Yuryevna Guseva, director of the MRRC of PetrSU in Segezha, for organizing a series of creative meetings in the regions of Karelia, as well as all the participants! I hope that the guys will read my new stories for teenagers in the spring issue of the magazine “Sever”, as well as stories from the book “Tom is lucky, who is lucky himself.”
