Cover for Celestial Wives of the Meadow Mari by Denis Osokin

Celestial Wives of the Meadow Mari is a collection of works by Denis Osokin, poet, writer, screenwriter, philologist and folklorist. The genre of his unusual books is difficult to determine, just as it is difficult to tell apart poetry from prose, fairy tale from truth, what happens in the afterworld and what happens in reality, which also becomes quite unusual.

The cover

Denis Osokin draws odd pictures where the living and the dead are brought alive in a new incomprehensible way, as there is nothing dead in this world nor in the other.
