Sofia Romma: A Literary Star
From the Heart of Moscow to the Heights of New YorkSofia Romma's journey began in Moscow, but her destiny led her to the bustling streets of New York City. Twenty-five years ago, she embarked on a new chapter in her life, leaving her homeland behind and embracing the vibrant metropolis of the United States.
The Artistic Muse Takes Hold
In 1997, Romma enrolled at New York University's Tisch School of the Arts, pursuing her passion for screenwriting. Her talent shone through as critics hailed her three theatrical works at La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club: "In the Eyes of Hope" (1997), "Get Me, Coyote!" (1999), and "Defenders of Prague" (2004).
Romma's artistic prowess also extended to film. She won the Garnet Bracelet Grand Prix for her film "Poor Lisa," starring esteemed actors Lee Grant and Ben Gazzara. Her expertise was recognized by the prestigious Gorky Literary Institute in Moscow, which bestowed upon her an honorary doctorate in 19th-century literature.

Simultaneously, she pens scripts at the Frederick Douglass Creative Arts Center.
Poetry that Transcends Boundaries
Romma's literary prowess is not limited to the stage or screen. Her recent book of poetry, published by the Gorky Literary Institute, exemplifies an ethereal and timeless quality. The poems, translated into Russian by Sergey Arutyunov, defy stylistic and cultural constraints, echoing the ethereal nature of the stars themselves.
A Cosmic Dance of Words
In her poem "Sophia - the Star Wife," Romma invites readers to a serene communion:
> Sophia - the star wife,
> Friend of the windy roads,> Her companion - the kind silence,
> That flows into the cracks of houses
> And sidewalks, whose pattern
> Try to forget,
> As the gray emptiness of avenues
> A cosmic essence.
A Journey into the Unknown
Romma's poetry leads readers on a celestial exploration, where words and images shimmer like distant stars. In her title poem, "God and Grace," she beckons readers into a realm of unity:
> Dream with me,
> Indivisible> Dreamer,
> Our soul
> Is carried away from the world
> By two - your God
> And my Grace.
Through Romma's words, readers are transported to a realm beyond language, where silence reigns supreme. As they gaze upon the celestial expanse, they are urged to make a heartfelt wish:
> In the lunar desire and in the starry dust,
> And in the flow of caterpillars in waves - мимо, мимо.> Mimmo, mimmo flashes words and lines of poetry.
> Hurry to make a wish!
