The present collection of selected works by E. Yu. Kuzmina-Karavaeva (mother of Maria) (1891-1945) is the first and, hopefully, not the last edition of her works undertaken at home in all the post-revolutionary time. It is like a belated tribute to her life feat and creativity. All the works of Marin's mother are closely connected with her life and with the era in which she flowed, and her poems are especially autobiographical. The collection also includes articles - reflections on literature, life; memories, letters.
