'With poetry, it’s always a royal «We»
And a poetic «I», which includes
The whole world, olive oil through to ghee
In a line resolves all disputes.'
Oxana Poberejnaia was born in the Forest of Taiga, in the Soviet Union, where she spent a happy childhood filled with fragrances of wild mushrooms and the soft touch of moss. In 2002, she moved to the UK, where she did her PhD degree and volunteered for human rights and sustainability organisations.
Her poetry is widely published in poetry anthologies. A poem will be published in the Spring 2013 issue of South magazine (47). A flash fiction is going to be published in Orbis 162. A collection of short stories Daddies’ Girls, to which she contributed, will be published by Indigo Dreams in 2013.
Oxana paints watercolours, draws and makes collages and greeting cards. She has performed her poetry at festivals in Manchester and Halifax, as well as in the Three Minute Theatre.
You can find Oxana on the web and on Twitter.
We are proud to welcome Oxana Poberejnaia to the Puzzle to read for us this coming Monday.

Hello, I didn't notice the comment section had been added to our gig. That's good. Look forward to a few more WOL visitors. This month's guest sounds worth a trip.

Hi Alexandros, Michael does sometimes read at The Puzzle (And has been a past guest) but I am not in regular contact with him. As I suspect you know, his work and the delivery of it are spellbinding. Win

The Puzzle Hall Inn, in God's own country of Pennine West Yorkshire, is full of character, and full of characters in the adjoining bar. But Sowerby Bridge's Puzzle Poets, aided by the mic, gave as good as they got on Monday night in terms of noise - and delivered high-quality poetry, too. Guest poet Ralph Dartford read from his new collection Cigarettes, Beer and Love, and gave us two football poems as well, and spoke of his pride at being named poet-in-residence of Ossett Town FC. John Foggin maintained the Ossett connection and contributed some masterly poems from his sequence of childhood recollections; David Lindsay delivered a fevered account of some right carryings on at Luddenden Foot; other contributors included Spoken Weird's Genevieve Walsh. Write Out Loud's Julian Jordon and Greg Freeman added their twopennworth, and with Freda Davis presiding serenely over proceedings, it was no puzzle why this was a very satisfying poetry night.
