Poems

The star of the Polytechnical Museum, Andrei Voznesensky! The country was mesmerized by his astonishing poems, and his performances gathered thousands of spectators. But the most important thing is that Voznesensky was a true reformer of Russian verse, a subtle and insightful lyricist, an enthusiastic, passionate poet - a symbol of the Soviet "thaw" and a master of metaphor. It seems nothing escaped his observant gaze and keen ear, tuned to the "ninety percent of music" that comprises every human being. The collection features selected poems by the poet from the 1960s-70s - for those readers who, following the poet, are "seeking not a likeness - but the original".
