Summary/Abstract: The article examines the image of women's hair in Yavorov's poetic cycle "Queens of the Night". The focus is on the poems “Cleopatra” and “Sappho”. They analyze the erotic symbolism that hair has. The text also outlines the dialogue between the Yavorov’s cycle and the cycle "Queens of the Night" by Kiril Hristov, mentioning similarities between the two poetic cycles. The image of “Cleopatra” is also traced in the works of poets Emanuil Popdimitrov and Lyudmil Stoyanov. The article very briefly marks the genesis of Bulgarian erotic poetry, as well as the apologization of women's hair in Yavorov's poetry, which are most vividly presented in his poem "Sappho".
