The poetry collection titled "Once Two Girls, a Mother, and a Happy God" includes 15 works that intricately weave grotesque themes with moments of lyrical fragility, creating a deeply emotional and honest portrayal of the inner worlds of children and adolescents. Author Inga Gaile fearlessly addresses uncomfortable and socially relevant issues, presenting the voices of children and teenagers not as idealized or decorative, but sharp, contradictory, and vibrant. This authenticity resonates throughout the collection, encouraging readers to confront tough themes through poetry.

Elīna Brasliņa's accompanying illustrations in the book "Let's Draw a Story?" not only enrich the poetry but also enhance its emotional depth with vivid colors, dynamic lines, and expressive imagery. These visual elements amplify the intensity of the poems while also revealing the multilayered nature of emotions, thus broadening the interpretative space of the text. The collaboration between Gaile and Brasliņa exemplifies how poetry and visual art can intersect to provide a more profound understanding of the experiences of youth.
