In Serhiy Zhadan's book, readers will find poems written over many years, directly or indirectly related to the railway. Here, the station square comes to dreams, people who look like snails sleep at stations and carry their own homes on their shoulders, soldiers go to the East to defend the country and return to their families. To the soft clatter of wheels and late horns, passengers count snow-capped hills, sleepy valleys, and country buildings, while busy conductors wander the carriages and disperse dreams.
