Summary/Abstract: Metaphor, as a basic tool of our mind, allows us to tap the potential of a language grounding on the knowledge and imagination of its user; ascertain the new through the old and unknown through the known. Poetic metaphor, which is a carrier of information and tool of communication, is the object of this study. Poetry of Inna Lisnianskaya could be holistically treated as a metaphor of a mirror. The subject of this analysis is the cycle of poems Старое зеркало. Inna Lisnianskaya, by identifying living with being a living mirror extends the meaning of this metaphor to: I AM A MIRROR.
