Biography of Masha Lukashkina
Maria Lukashkina is a modern poet, prose writer, and translator. She has been writing and publishing for almost thirty years. As a child, little Masha loved to read, was recorded immediately in three libraries. In childhood, she became acquainted with the works of the best Russian and foreign writers for children. Perhaps that is why her poems are so bright, interesting and entertaining. They carry the whole palette of the world of childhood: kindness, curiosity, joy and serenity. To be an adult and to remain a child in the soul is a most valuable gift; perhaps he played a decisive role in the formation of a poetess. By the way, Maria Lukashkina studied mathematics and did not plan to become a poetess. However, her poetic gift, so strong and so pure, could not but prove itself.
The literary name - Masha Lukashkina - this is exactly what is indicated on the collections of the poetess. This indicates the proximity of the poetess herself to the children's audience. Since the early 1990s, the poems and stories of Masha Lukashkina appeared in print. Now on sale is her collection of poems, short stories and fairy tales, “Pink Glasses,” “Tea with Bergamot,” “Good and Bad: Tales and Stories,” “Learning to Count,” “My Favorite Alphabet,” and many others.
Plunge into the world of childhood?
Poems by Masha Lukashkina - that literary model that you can safely read and learn with your children. In his creations, the author often speaks on behalf of the child; one feels the gaze of an adult in symbiosis with the thinking of a small person. Perhaps only Agnia Barto and Samuil Yakovlevich Marshak simply perceived the world so brightly and childishly.
A distinctive feature of the poetic language of Masha Lukashkina can be considered unexpected transitions in her verses from an even harmonious rhyme to inappropriate prose sayings of the size and expectation of the reader ... This is so characteristic of children, this is a game of poetry, this is the child’s knowledge of the world, when they try, they experiment with him, coming to unexpected results. Here is an excerpt from the shipwreck poem:
We headed south
The ice was melting around
And suddenly on the horizon
It seemed ... mom!
In the poems of the poetess, in the semantic component, there are moments that are not entirely clear to a small child, but close to a reading senior audience, for example, subtle humor, grotesque. This is not a minus, but rather a plus: reading modern, primitive and sometimes meaningless children's poems to an adult who has a good aesthetic taste can be unpleasant and even difficult. It is no secret that children are asked to re-read the books they like again and again, this is a feature of age. That is why the collection of poems by Masha Lukashkina can become a lifesaver.
Wolf
This fact has long been known:
The wolf is sometimes honest.
They began to say to the wolf:
- How dare you do
So many bad deeds ?!
- Volk replied: - I wanted to.
The poem "Antelope", "Wolf and the Frog", "Iguanas", "Giant", "Watermelon" - an example of how great it is, as an adult, to plunge into the world of a child and look at everything with his eyes. A wonderful language, syllable, humor and wit are combined with children's spontaneity.
Such a delicious "Tea with Bergamot"
In the collection of verses by Masha Lukashkina, Tea with Bergamot, all verses are imbued with sincerity, bright joy, curiosity, children's "expertism" and "omniscience." Such poetry brings us back to that serene time when we read poetry, standing on a chair, when there was nobody more terrible than the wolf, and grandparents were cheerful and energetic, despite their age.
A very touching poem "Give Grandmothers", where the problem of choosing a gift for grandmothers is decidedly purely childish. In the author’s opinion, these are hoops, jump ropes, dolls, soldiers, popsicle on a stick and even a telescope “overlooking the moon”:
To your grandmothers
Gifts have seen
So that grandmothers said:
- How did you guess! -
So that grandmothers said:
- Here is a holiday -
Indeed!!!
To be so happy
What are younger.
This poem echoes another one, no less valuable in educational and spiritual terms - "Grandmother has no grandmother." Surprisingly simple and such valuable conclusions of the child sound in this poem:
Grandma doesn't have grandma
Therefore no one
She won’t sing “little things” to her,
Do not shake off the coat.
No one on a children's slide
Climbing won't help
Nobody takes a finger
When you can’t fall asleep.
No one will lead to the museum
No one will say, “Daddy,
It is necessary to dress warmly ... ".
There is no grandmother at the grandmother.
