Jam from Fallen Fruit

Aleksei Alekhin is a legendary figure for connoisseurs of contemporary poetry: he was the chief editor of the magazine Arion for many years, where Maxim Amelin, Sukbat Aflatuni, Vera Pavlova, Irina Ermakova, Maria Galina, and many other names that have... already become classics of today were published. Jam from Fallen Fruit is a book of miniatures, each of which resembles a poem, made of the same material as poems, but the cut is freer. There are no rhymes and rhythms, and because of this, the images live more vividly. The jewel-like attention to details and the subtlest shades of meaning - in this delicate layer of creativity lives Alekhin's genius. Almost every miniature of his wants to be examined in the palm of your hand, like a drop of dew - within it is a whole world and many worlds at once.
