“Follow my voice”, a jubilee exhibition timed to the 80th anniversary of the birth of the Belarusian poetess and public figure, Danuta Bichel-Zagnetova, runs in the Belarusian literature reading hall (No 205), from 29 November to 31 December.
The poetess and winner of the Y. Kupala State Prize of Belarus (1984), Danuta Bichel-Zagnetova, possesses the unique poetical voice, singing of the fast-flowing Neman River, the ancient city of Garodnya, the hoary Kalozha Church and the fathers’ home. Her poetry embraces the Belarusian antiquity, mythos, rites and songs, sounding the voice of the Mother, the patroness and keeper of the land, tradition and language.
The poetry by Danuta Bichel-Zagnetova is a comfort for each soul that seeks for answers to the eternal questions, the path to harmony and the Light.
