Russian poetry is going through hard times today. Modern literature is generally more like one of the types of business. However, there are still people who selflessly and unselfishly serve metaphor and rhyme. Inna Kabysh is one of them.
Childhood
Advanced psychologists recommend that future parents introduce their child to the beautiful, starting from the moment of conception. Pregnant women are advised to listen to classical music regularly. Inna Aleksandrovna Kabysh was born on January 28, 1963 in an ordinary Soviet family. Parents lived in Moscow. By their nature, they belonged to the category of technical intelligentsia. Father worked at an engineering plant, mother at a design institute. At that time, there were heated discussions in society about who was more important and needed by the country: physics or lyrics.
The girl grew up in an atmosphere of creativity and search for answers to questions like - why did you come to this world, Human? Today the answer lies on the surface: to do business. No options. In those years, the choice was more varied. Of course, being in the womb, Inna did not have to listen to the works of classical composers. But from an early age, her parents read books to her aloud. For the rest of her life, she remembered the voice of her father reading the fairy tale "The Little Humpbacked Horse". Mom had different preferences. She told her daughter before going to bed the fairy tale "The Little Prince".
It should be noted that Inna has a phenomenal memory. Or almost phenomenal. Even in preschool years, she learned without much effort, or rather, remembered a large number of poems. When in the first grade the girl was asked to tell her favorite work, Inna recited "Poems about the Soviet Passport" with expression and expression. The future poet Kabysh studied well at school. Her favorite subjects were geography and literature. Inna's real suffering came from home economics lessons.
According to Inna Alexandrovna herself, she was lucky with the school. One could spend the whole day here. When the lessons were over, she had a haste lunch and hurried to the drama section. Or a circle of literature lovers. Already in the seventh grade, an energetic student read all the books in the school library. She loved to spend her summer holidays at the pioneer camp. Kabysh easily found a common language with her peers. She knew how to be friends. After graduating from school, she decided to get a director's education at GITIS, but did not pass the creative competition.
On a poetic wave
Inna was not upset for long after failing at the entrance exams. She was invited to work as a pioneer leader in her native school. Having plunged into a familiar environment, Kabysh realized after a while that she was just lucky. In a series of everyday affairs, troubles, events, she felt excellent, as they say, at ease. At the same time, she observed and assessed current events as an adult. Both positive and bitter omens were reflected in the poems that she never stopped writing.
A year later, Kabysh entered the correspondence department of the Moscow Pedagogical Institute. After a while, there were changes at work. She was transferred as a literature teacher in grades five through eighth. In parallel with teaching, I regularly communicated with young writers and poets in the classroom of the literary association at the Energetik Palace of Culture. In 1985, her poem was included in the almanac "Poetry-85". It was a great success and recognition of the creativity of the young poetess.
Continuing to work at the school, Inna prepares thematic collections of poems and publishes them on the pages of periodicals. "Thick" magazines, such as "New World", "Friendship of Peoples", "Banner", offer her their pages to post new works. Meanwhile, the situation in the country is changing, and Kabysh does not always understand the essence of the processes taking place in society. In 1989 she becomes a member of the Writers' Union. Communicating with eminent colleagues in the shop, she does not receive clear answers to questions that are multiplying every day.
Inna expressed her condition in poetry. According to some experts, at critical moments, when society collapses and the soul is torn apart, the current state can only be expressed in poetic images. Humiliation, illness, betrayal are easier to feel than to express in words. But the poetess finds the right words, images and comparisons. This is what attracts the reader in Kabysh's poems. Although not everyone is able to understand the idea that the author formulates.
Personal life
The creative career of the poetess was developing quite successfully. In 1996, Kabysh received the Alfred Toepfer Foundation prize for the collection of poems "Personal Difficulties". Of course, the poetess was surprised by the fact that she received money from a German organization. But the situation in the country was ugly and every penny, and even more so a dollar, she was glad. The following collections "Meeting Place", "Childhood. Adolescence. Childhood.”,“Bride Without a Place”were published with enviable regularity. For almost each of them, she received one or another award.
Inna Kabysh's personal life was standard. At one time she got married. The spouse is a professional actor. Plays roles in theater and cinema. The husband and wife raised and raised their son. The young man refused to write poetry and followed in his father's footsteps. He graduated from the theater institute and works in television. The poetess's family lives in the near Moscow region.
