I chose a poem by Denis Tumanov “I love you, do you hear me?” and I’m very glad that the audience liked my choice and my reading - this means that I am on the right way of my creative development. Thanks to the organizers for the opportunity to take part in the reader contest - for me this victory means a lot!”, Vika shared her impressions.
