For Vadkerti creating a poem is neither a beautiful game nor an opportunity to speak out, but rather an essential searching for a way to declare the fundamentals of life`s destiny. What Vadkerti writes is unusually serious poetry. Beyond the evocative style and her apparent desires, the tragic can be sensed yet it is balanced internally or at least consciously directed towards the harmony of opposing poles in human life.<br />
Not a single contemporary Slovak poet has penetrated so profoundly into "archetype", into the atmosphere of the folk tale and thus also into childhood as part of our adulthood - as this poet has.

Lýdia Vadkerti-Gavornáková attracted readers from the very beginning with the intimacy of what she wrote. When we read her family poems we never have the feeling of a still life, or an idyll, on the contrary it is a world where she lives and struggles at the same time, where relationships are not free of passion and crisis but where confidence and ability help people to work together. With this in mind how Vadkerti accents individual motifs makes it clear that it should be like this for all people, for all nations.</p>

Her own life is reflected in her poetry and the life of her relatives, the surroundings in which she grew up, the work that she observed as a child in that region of vineyards and sun. She chose her own viewpoint; a combination of a joyful, child-like naive experience of everything in the world being richly fulfilled and<br />
a melancholic view that not every human life is crowned with good, love and happiness.</p>
