Viera Prokešová has a gift to push things gently away from her, yet at the same time she sees them more clearly and the pain caused by discovery is then recorded in
a sinusoid of the already presented artefact - the poem. The power of her seemingly fragile poems is not in telling stories of feelings (how many have been written already!) but in precise weighting, careful complementing and vision (almost geometrical) focused on something as complex as a fateful long-term relationship.
Mila Haugová
Viera Prokešová belongs to those female poets who are trying to reach beyond the borders of communicability and record things that prose cannot convey. This kind of irrational poetry forces the reader to rely more on his impressions than precise interpretation of meaning. If Pavel Vilikovský is not interested in emotions or sensations but only in moods when writing prose, the poems written by Viera Prokešová are meant to evoke something more refined, uncertain, perhaps a mere shade of a feeling or mood.
