Alexander Gofeld, representative of the author in Israel, present at the meeting wrote about his impression: “The most valuable thing seemed to me a kind of improvised concert when the Knesset deputy Nino Abisadze, in the past the television announcer, read one of the poems of Alexander Korotko, subtly noting its depth and musicality.” (For the full text of Alexander Gofeld read on the page Reviews. The audience was interested in the author’s new book, asking specific questions about the opportunity to purchase the publication.
