The compilers of this book by Kastus Tsvirka faced the most difficult task: to select from his many years of multifaceted work a little of the most outstanding from all the branches of literature in which he works - poetry, prose, essays, literary criticism, translations...

To what extent this was achieved is up to the readers to judge. And as an addition to the selection, this book contains for the first time mentions of Kastus Alekseevich about his writer friends with whom he was friends.

The Mikhas Streltsov Literary Prize was awarded to Kastus Tsvirk by the jury.
for loyalty to national literary traditions, translations of Belarusian Polish-language poetry of the 19th century, and popularization of domestic classics in the "Belarusian Book Collection" series.
