More than 50 poetic inspirations in three languages - Bulgarian, English and Spanish, have been collected in her new book of poetry by Ruza Velcheva. The book is called "Out of Paradise" and was presented to a select audience last night at the Rafael Mihailov Exhibition Hall in Veliko Tarnovo.
The poetry in the collection is gathered in three cycles. "The first is with poems on sea themes, the second is with haiku and the third cycle is with love poetry. Because you can't do without love poems and, as a friend of mine says, it's better out of Heaven if in Heaven I will be forced to live without love," the Tarnovo poet told her admirers. The deputy director of the library Kalina Ivanova and the critic Vladimir Shumelov presented the poetry of Ruzha Velcheva and herself.
The translator of the poems in "Out of Paradise" is Ruzha Velcheva herself, who used Diana Demireva and Georgi Georgiev as consultants for the English and Spanish versions of her poetry.
The author of the illustrations is the artist Deshka Deneva. The book is part of the international project "Lady Cafe 45 +", which the Regional Library "P. Р. Slaveykov". Part of the poetry book is already being distributed in Ireland and Spain, where the partners of the library are.
