Vera Polozkova is a young and rather successful Russian poet, whose works are in demand among the current younger generation. She draws inspiration for her poems from the world around her, whether it be meeting interesting people, traveling abroad, or giving birth to her own children. Therefore, her work is very close to everyone who is familiar with him.
Childhood and youth
The biography of Vera Nikolaevna Polozkova began on March 5, 1986 in Moscow. The girl was the late and only child in the family. Polozkova's father left the family when the girl was 2 years old. And after 5 years he died suddenly. Against the background of these events, the girl developed a very warm relationship with her mother. Vera trusted her only close person with absolutely any secrets. Perhaps such openness contributed to the fact that at the age of 5 the girl wrote her first poem, and at the age of 9 she started a personal diary, which, in principle, is typical of any girl.
Since childhood, Vera has been very versatile and gifted. She was actively involved in dancing and vocals. When Polozkova was 15 years old, she graduated from school as an external student and did not go anywhere for higher education, but to the journalism faculty of one of the most prestigious universities in the country - Moscow State University. However, a little later, she realized that her love of poetry was not combined with the specifics of her work in journalism. Already in the first year of the institute, the young poetess published her debut collection of poems.
In parallel with her studies, the girl had to earn money. She often changed her place of work. At first she was responsible for one of the columns in the fashionable gloss Cosmopolitan, then she wrote material for the Knizhnoye Obozreniye newspaper and the Afisha magazine. In addition, for some time she worked at the Moscow Museum of Modern Art.
Career
At the age of 17, Vera starts her own blog in LiveJournal, where more than a thousand people subscribed to her almost immediately. Such a number of fans gave the young poetess confidence in what she was doing. Since then, she has become a regular at poetry evenings and competitions. After 3 years, Polozkova becomes a finalist of the youth creative competition, better known as the poetry slam. In the same year, she became the best "network" poetess and was awarded the "LJ Poet of the Year" award.
After that, she created a personal profile on the Stihi.ru website. Despite the fact that only 7 works of the poetess were published there, the number of subscribers continues to gradually increase. To this day, they leave their comments under her work.
The girl's first solo performance took place in 2007. And the career of the poet gradually moved up. In 2008, when Vera was 22 years old, the first printed edition of her poems was published, called “Nonpoemanie”. This collection, in addition to even greater popularity, brought Polozkova a victory in the independent "Neformat" prize.
In the future, she publishes a number of collections and is awarded the Rimma Kazakova Prize for her hard work. And in 2012 Vera Nikolaevna conducts her debut performance abroad. At the New York Book Fair, she shares her work with poetry lovers.
The bibliography of the famous poetess includes hundreds of poems, which are collected in five collections. In addition, Polozkova often plays on the stage and records music for her poems.
Personal life
In 2014, Vera became the wife of the musician Alexander Bgantsev. After the wedding, the newly minted husband and wife moved to Odessa. At the end of the same year, the couple had their first child, and 4 years later, a second son was born. Polozkova often shares the details of her personal life on her Instagram page.
