Liza Neklessa's pamphlet-length poem, A sieve filled with berries, is about desire and nature, the first flush of a love affair, the way the world seems brighter and cleaner when you might start to see it through someone else's eyes. Liza is interested in feminist discourse, and she works in the space between visual art and poetry with topics of objectification, gender-based violence, and gender stereotypes. You can find more about the author in her personal page.

Translated from the Russian by Philippa Mullins, the book includes Neklessa's own images which comment on and enlarge the scope of the poem.
