Cervena Barva Press is pleased to announce the publication of *"A Cure
For Suicide"*
by Larissa Shmailo
------------------------------
[image: A Cure For Suicide by Larissa Shmailo] In "*A Cure for Suicide*"
by Larissa Shmailo, Shmailo writes (as the founder of *Fulcrum* Magazine
Philip Nikolayev points out in his introduction) as if she is …"
constitutionally predestined to sing out her lines…her eyes filled with life
and love, pain and death, freedom and coercion, the real of the mind and the
imagined of the heart." In the poem "*Dancing with the Devil*," the poet
sings about the need to throw caution to the wind and trip the light
fantastic with the Devil:
"They say if you flirt with death,
you're going to get a date;
but I don't mind—the music's fine,
and I love dancing with someone who can really lead."
Shmailo puts herself in the deceptive calmness of the eye of a hurricane,
asks us to tell her what makes us tic, and takes us on the Harlem River
Line, like the "Duke" took us on the "A" train. In a sea of mimics this poet
is an original voice.
