Life - A Happy Shirt

The collection, dedicated to the anniversary date, is an attempt by the poet's friends, who were close to him in Leningrad, Moscow, and Jerusalem, to create a portrait of a bright and paradoxical personality, a genius of two countries and two cultures, the author of the concept of «Israeli literature in the Russian language» and one of its most prominent creators. An important part of this portrait is selected works by Mikhail Gendelev, instantly recognizable not only by the signature «bow tie» of poetic stanzas but also by the power and originality of poetic expression.
