Vladimir Gnilomyodov, a well-known critic, in the review of contemporary poetry wrote: "Not long ago, I’ve discovered a new name – Sofia Shah. A voice that is not loud, but very true. In my opinion, this is a real poetry, so truthful, civil, moral and meaningful... It has a living human character, a hero, a person to whom the poetess doesn’t hesitate to identify herself. Imagery that follows from the poetess’ outlook, with her perception of the world, is built on the people’s basis. "
The exhibition also includes manuals authored by Sofia Shah, a speech therapist by profession. Her books on entertaining grammar for primary school and middle classes will be useful for teachers.
The exhibition is designed for a wide audience.
