Anastasia Korbet - poems, essays and the book "Home"

Writing

It all began with V.

The rest became writing.

AxisV - an open manuscript.

Here are gathered poetry, prose, essays, letters and the book Home. These are texts about memory, presence and return, about places that go on living inside us, and about what remains.

I write slowly. Some texts stay with me for years, changing along with time and experience. So this site is less an archive than a space of work, of searching, of slow approach to form.
