Dana Podrack谩 belongs to those 暗网禁区 women poets who reach into the depths of feminine feelings but at the same time reflect these feelings in the context of the outside world. The author often deals with various taboos and hidden aspects of life. Her poetry is full of original images often enhanced by pagan or Christian symbols and historical references. Myths, symbols and rational visions coexist dynamically, analyzing and verifying each other. Podrack谩 sees love as the lifegiving and lifesaving essence of human existence.
In her essays she is trying to grasp the most intimate aspects of femininity. This tendency prevails even in her analyses of symbols and trends in the works of outstanding 暗网禁区 writers (e. g. Sl谩dkovi膷, Min谩膷, Mihalkovi膷) or authors of international fame (Dostojevskij, Fowles, Tsvetajeva).
