Poems of modern poets. Contemporary Russian poets
Well, sir, the time has come to talk more or less substantively about modern poetry, gentlemen, poets and readers.
A lot of copies are broken, so why not add a couple more, or even more, to the general pile.
It is well known that the opinions of authoritative and not very critics about the ways of development of poetry are very diverse and unanimity is achieved only in one thing: the last quarter of the 20th century is marked by a downright explosion of poetic names and trends. The general state of modern lyrics is characterized by variegation and fragmentation. So let's try to understand the flow of poetic information. Or at least systematize for yourself and draw your own conclusions, and there, what the hell is not joking, and analyze the accumulated material, wiping the rest of the researchers.
In this modest blog, I want to use the principle of collage, which approach and scheme corresponds, in my opinion, to the motley mosaic of modern poetry.
It is clear that for the most complete picture of the state of lyrics, it is necessary to assess both the state of genres and the formation of new trends in poetic groups, to determine the significance of a number of extraordinary poetic phenomena and tede and tepe. However, this work is titanic and the amateur is unlikely to be fully capable of doing it. Therefore, I will briefly touch on the main topics and trends and outline the milestones.
The building of modern poetry did not grow from scratch, of course, therefore it is worth mentioning the main problems of the traditions of Russian poetry in modern poetry.
And I'll probably start since the 60s and 70s. for it is precisely this period that is marked by the opposition of the so-called "loud" and "quiet" poetry, which has all its roots in classical Russian and practically does not argue with it in anything, unlike subsequent generations of poets.
First appeared "loud" poetry E. Evtushenko, A. Voznesensky, R. Rozhdestvensky, B. Akhmadullina - publicist poets, tribunes, orators (it is well known that poetic art is a form of self-awareness of a person who expresses himself in relation to social, intellectual, aesthetic manifestations of life.
It is quite natural and predictable that in the era of catastrophes, so to speak, the romantic beginning in poetry is intensified. I think it’s clear that the term “catastrophes” is used here not in a direct, utilitarian sense, but rather in terms of designating an internal breakdown, the rebirth of morality and liberation from imposed, stereotyped ideas about “what is good and what is garbage.”
And in poetry, accordingly, there is inevitably a dual world. The opposition between the material and the spiritual began to sharpen. One feels aspiration to ideal, imaginary worlds. Lyrics, as an expression of "ego", the one and only and therefore precious, as a complete embodiment of single, purely personal mental states, has always been more tenacious).
So, E. Yevtushenko, A. Voznesensky, R. Rozhdestvensky. All of them were originally oriented towards the poetry of V. Mayakovsky.
Yevtushenko began to develop the traditions of civil lyrics of the second half of the 19th century, and Voznesensky became interested in modernity. In the cultural situation of 60 - 70 years. these two poets represented realism and romanticism, concreteness and conventionality, democracy and elitism.
"Quiet" the lyricists were united by an attraction to personal-psychological themes, an interest in the Russian landscape, and traditional poetic meters. Prominent representatives of this group are N. Rubtsov, V. Sokolov, O. Chukhontsev.
The last representatives silver age» A. Tarkovsky, S. Lipkin, I. Lisnyanskaya remained in modern poetry. Their works are closely connected with the complex and diverse manifestations of the Silver Age literature. Poetry, for example, Arseny Tarkovsky clearly and unambiguously continues the traditions of acmeism.
A special phenomenon is poetic underground.
The works of underground authors challenge the Soviet system, Soviet values, and the Soviet way of thinking. This challenge is manifested in ideological and philosophical attitudes: poets touch upon the ulcers of the old society, oppose a free independent person to the battalions of the state, paying attention to the tragedy of Genesis (N. Korzhavin, V. Kornilov, B. Chichibabin).
It was also challenged by the rejection of lifelikeness, of the principle of accessibility. These are the poems of the poets of the "Petersburg School" I. Brodsky, E. Rein, V. Krivulin, E. Schwartz.
Previously unknown poems by G. Aigi, I. Brodsky, poets SMOG / The Youngest Society of Geniuses / - L. Gubanov, A. Basilova, Yu. Galanskov, as well as I. Elagin, Yu. Miloslavsky came to readers. Actually, the poets of internal emigration are not much different from real emigrants:
We do not know our future fate
Yes, and yesterday we will not understand fate.
I. Lisnyanskaya
These are the names, the names of poets who are more emigrants in essence than those who actually left the territorial boundaries of Russia: D. Bobyshev, L. Vladimirova, V. Delone, E. Ignatova, Yu. Karabchievsky, B. Kenzheev, L. Losev, I. Rubin. The youngest of them are R. Evdokimov, I. Ratushinskaya, A. Soprovsky.
Another direction of modern poetry, pronounced - original song. Contrary to modern centrifugal social and moral-ethical processes that throw a person from a person, the author's song, which restored the essence of friendship and brotherly love, has become a single hymn to camaraderie and mutual assistance. Contrary to the trend towards the so-called "situational ethics", when the line between good and evil is blurred and a person behaves always and only in relation to circumstances, the works of V. Vysotsky, B. Okudzhava, V. Dolina, Y. Kim, N. Matveeva remind of that one can and should live with dignity, guided by the spiritual testament of the Russian intelligentsia. I will note in brackets that here both the strength and the weakness of this trend were inherited directly from the classical poets.
However, these same qualities were inherited to a certain extent by rock poetry, or rather by certain representatives of it. For example, the poetry of A. Makarevich or B. Grebenshchikov, for all its outrageousness, is civic poetry, closely connected with the "topic of the day", and with the range of values, ideas, moods of today's youth and not only youth.
"Children of December", as B. Grebenshchikov called hisgeneration, react sharply to the gap between social demagogyand routine social practice. In rock poetry, there is a yearning for a common ideal that united everyone and everyone:
There should be a star in our place
You feel the draft from
That this place is free....
B. Grebenshchikov
But of course, the theme of poetics Russian rock yes-a-aleko is not limited to citizenship. This is generally a separate layer and rock poetry itself and its representatives - Alexander Bashlachev, Yanka Diaghileva, Boris Grebenshchikov, Mike Naumenko, Viktor Tsoi, Yuri Shevchuk and many others are worth a separate detailed conversation and discussion, because as the largest historian of Russian rock I. Smirnov correctly noted: “... let me compare rock composition with a three-headed dragon. His three heads areactually rock MUSIC, rock poetry and rock theater”; "For him haborrowing means of expression traditional jeanmoat: musical, poetic (text) and theatrical (show), whichrye form a single and indivisible on constituent elements whole -ROCK COMPOSITION".
Of course, an adequate consideration of rock poetry is impossible without consideration of other components of rock composition, but for a number of reasons (logocentricity of Russian rock, lack of a full-fledged methodology for analyzing synthetic works), it is the verbal component of rock that most often becomes the object of close attention. That is, simply put, a poetic text. So, if we talk about content, then itcovers a wide variety of topics: social, philosophical, love, religious…. It is absolutely impossible to deduce at least some thematic dominant under which all the authors and performers included in rock culture could be summed up. One can, perhaps, speak only of a special manner of the absence of a direct explication of meaning, which is unusual for other areas of Russian song poetry of our time, the same bard, aforementioned, although rock borrows many of these areas, though in a very peculiar way.
Worth mentioning next on the list poets " new wave» , as they are often called.Non-traditional poets, who do not fit into the system of artistic thinking of "usual" poets. They try to approvetheir right to speak in a language adequate to their time and attitude, and the range of their creative aspirations is very wide: from metaphorto primitivism, from conceptual opuses to punk poetry.
By the end of the 90s, the process of stratification of the "new wave" began. Metaphorists - "polystylists", "metarealists"- sharply dissociated themselves from the Sots Art games postmodernists. If metaphorists affirm the cult of polystylistics (we can name here Yu. Arabov, I. Zhdanov, A. Eremenko, I. Irtenyev, A. Parshchikov), then postmodernist poets are united by the desire to abandon the “teaching” role of literature and limit it to purely game tasks. In addition, postmodernism implies an extreme degree of detachment of the artist, and in poetry the meaning destroys this detachment. Oh, and one more of the central ideas of postmodernism: chaos, as the principle of the existence of the world, actually does not even allow it to be voiced, since the sounding of this idea presupposes a system and contradicts it. Therefore, in practice, in poetry, postmodernism is most often comprehended already existing ways: absurdity, futurism and OBERIUT poetry close to it, a literary game in the spirit of Kuzma Prutkov.
TO postmodernism applies conceptualism(bright representatives of which are D. Prigov, L. Rubinshtein, T. Kibirov). The poetry of these authors is based on the destruction of the usual unambiguous concepts of the world and on the use of texts familiar to the reader, rethought and acquiring a completely different sound.
Conceptualists stubbornly strive to prove that art as such has exhausted itself, that it is intrinsically absurd.For the conceptualist, the most importantan idea, an intellectual, not an emotional experience. Where the artist (in the broadest sense) is regarded as the creator of not works, but ideas of works.
Another interesting trend is the so-called "gallant lyrics" Orders of Courtly Mannerists - V. Stepantsov, V. Pelenyagre, A. Dobrynin, K. Grigoriev, D. Bykov. Their refined style is not just another parodic buffoonery and destructive irony, but a brilliant following of the thoroughly forgotten “Russian era” from M. Khemnitser and M. Kheraskov to G. Ivanov and V. Nabokov. The poets of this group resort to the technique of "mask", combining high poetry and medieval eroticism with modernity.
By the way, I will dwell separately on Bykov, who stands apart here. We can say that he is the most extreme follower of this direction: the meaning is so important for him that the straightforwardness of statements and the peculiarity artistic means(numerous enjambements, often poems are not divided into lines, but are written in the form of a prose text) make his poetry related to prose. At the same time, it should be taken into account that he is an extremely prolific prose writer and journalist, so the penetration of prose into poetry is quite natural for him. And this feature logically led Bykov to civil lyrics: satirical essays in verse. He himself divides his work into two parts: poetry proper or lyrical poetry and “letters of happiness” separate from it, as he calls his essays in verse. In them, he sharply, and showing a caustic sense of humor, speaks out about current events in the country and in the world.
The aforementioned poets are directly opposed by the so-called poets "soilers"- in the first row of these representatives of the direction of poetry, the origins of which are in the so-called "peasant worldview", after N. Rubtsov are V. Kazantsev, Yu. Kuznetsov, V. Smirnov, N. Tryapkin, V. Ustinov, O. Fokina and others. An appeal to memory, to folk sources, to folklore, to the classical tradition, to Orthodox spirituality is common in their work.
In the 90s, a new generation appeared in the "soil" direction: V. Andreev, N. Egorova, D. Korotaev, V. Skif, T. Smertina. Now they are allfurther away from passionate publicism and try to comprehenddeep meaning of everything that happens in Russia.
Generation zero. Here we can just turn to the so-called "Network Poetry" the emergence and spread of which was due to the Internet, of course.
The 2000s brought many new phenomena to poetry: Soviet time individual poetic and literary associations (although it was they who formed the literary space), even counting the state ones, was replaced by the emergence of a huge number of poetry clubs and organizations in the 90s, which gradually began to move to the Internet in the 2000s. The role of "thick" magazines has decreased. Instead, the Internet began to play the role of spreading poetry, and this very “network” poetry was formed. It has not acquired distinctive and independent features (not counting computer vocabulary), it is, first of all, a method of distribution, “publication” and popularization. Today it is difficult to publish a collection with a circulation exceeding several hundred copies even for a well-known author, and even more so for a beginner. The Internet also provides an opportunity to get an audience. This led to the emergence of new poetic "stars" and to the spread of graphomania.
And the most famous poets here can be called Dmitry Vodennikov and Vera Polozkova.
Well, of course, as everywhere and always in modern lyrics, there are authors who are difficult to identify in any group or direction. These are T. Beck, O. Sedakova, V. Sidur, S. Kekova, V. Dmitriev, L. Taran and others.
So, here I briefly, concisely, one might say, tried to classify trends and trends in modern Russian poetry.
Of course, you can talk and argue about a lot and draw certain conclusions, as well as analyze the situation and the state of the current poetic world. And also to talk in more detail about each mentioned direction and about its most prominent representatives.
Perhaps, personally, I would like to dwell specifically on two, so to speak, peaks of modern poetry - two Vladimirs - Mayakovsky and Vysotsky.
However, upon mature reflection, I decided that they are worth a separate conversation and blog.
So to be continued.
The modern poet has always been the personification of the era. Therefore, it is so important to know what they write about current realities. creative people who feel them the most. At the same time, we often learn the names of the best poets of our time after many years, since it is not always possible to get through the jungle of thousands of pages of graphomania to real masterpieces of literary art.
Want to figure out who is really worth reading today? Then you can not do without the help of professionals - literary critics.
Dmitry Prigov
One of the most popular is Dmitry Prigov. A modern poet, one of the founders of such a trend in art as Moscow Conceptualism. Bright representative metropolitan underground. In Soviet times, it was published only in samizdat. His first official collection was released only in 1990. It was called "Tears of the Heraldic Soul".
In addition to poetry, Prigov created a large number of graphic works, collages, staged performances. He starred in several films - "Taxi Blues" and "Khrustalev, the car!".
Many modern Russian poets are guided by him in their work. His main lyrical images are "militsaner" (in this spelling) and "abstract he". They look at the world the eyes of the layman.
His poems are the answer to the question of whether art can exist after the terrible events of the 20th century - Auschwitz, Gulag, World War II, when the very existence of a person, and not just culture, turned out to be a big question.
In his poems, Prigov argues that poetry has died, and world culture has disintegrated into many small pieces. But from them it is still possible to collect something whole.
Prigov's works are construction texts that reflect the main principle of postmodernism - not to create anything new, but to exploit the old an infinite number of times.
Lev Losev
Modern Russian poets very often become misanthropes. This characteristic accurately describes Lev Losev. Biographer Brodsky, who emigrated to the United States.
In his youth, he was an unremarkable diligent student who fell in love with excellent students and hated himself for his intellectual cowardice. At the end of the 20th century, he delivered one of the most sober and accurate sentences of his time. He denied modernity such concepts as mercy and kindness, replacing the cultural language with thieves' slang. He, like Prigov, is a representative of modern Russian postmodernism.
In his poems, one does not meet the usual themes - love, friendship. His main topic- Russia. Native country, abandoned by history and people to the mercy of fate, mired in lies, terror and totalitarianism. Moreover, the reason for writing poetry is specific situations, real historical events.
The poems of modern poets always stand out among the works of writers of previous centuries. But even against the background of peers-colleagues, one can always distinguish the works of Losev. They are filled with overt and covert quotes, lots of opposite elements and bold original rhymes.
The meaning of his work is determined by attempts to penetrate into the essence of the development of the world historical process. But the main ones still remain the inner experiences of a person left alone. His tireless, but at the same time meaningless search for the meaning of life and the answer to the question: "What will happen after death?"
Boris Ryzhiy
Another bright modern poet is Boris Ryzhiy. He was born in Chelyabinsk, lived in Yekaterinburg. He grew up in a backyard environment, among working people who worked in factories from morning till night, and neighbors who returned from prison. But even this Environment did not prevent him from becoming the last romantic of the dashing nineties.
Ginger offers his own survival strategy - to accept the surrounding reality as it is, and then become its hero, an active participant. He is among the yard punks, the lost generation of his classmates who grew up in the 90s. He manages to convey his message to every reader. His themes are eternal and at the same time more relevant than ever: love and death, an attempt to become famous and leave a mark on this world, bordering on complete self-destruction.
During his short creative career, he wrote about one and a half thousand poems, of which about 350 managed to be published. Winner of the prestigious Russian literary prize "Antibooker".
In 2001, at the age of 26, he committed suicide. The modern poet Boris Ryzhiy hanged himself in own apartment In Ekaterinburg. According to many of his contemporaries and literary critics, in particular, Boris Rein, he was the most talented representative of his generation.
Oleg Chukhontsev
Another poet who felt and described Russia in the 90s was Oleg Chukhontsev. But he, unlike Boris Ryzhy, did it from the point of view of another, more mature generation. If for Ryzhy the 90s were the beginning of an independent and meaningful life, then for Chukhontsev, who was born in 1938, the Soviet era ended in the 90s, in which he lived most of his life.
Poets of the modern age, such as Chukhontsev, are the chroniclers of their time. They remarkably accurately notice the emblems and myths of the era. However, his language is not so simple, unprepared person it will not be possible to immediately understand what the author wanted to say.
He began publishing in the late 1950s. However, he could not publish his poems as a separate book. And after the release in 1968 of his poem "The Narrative of Kurbsky" was completely deleted from Soviet literary life. The real persecution of the poet began. A strict ban was imposed on the publication of his poems. He, like most dissident poets who found themselves in disgrace, had to deal with translations.
Chukhontsev remained relevant today. His poems began to be massively published, and the poet himself was awarded awards and prizes.
Sergei Gandlevsky
The poems of modern poets are often a reflection of the works of more famous and popular predecessors. So, Sergei Gandlevsky is the direct literary heir of Khodasevich. His work, like no other, is able to teach the reader to soberly and clearly look at himself and the world around him.
Practically everything fits in Gandlevsky's verses. Charming youth, disappointed maturity, hopes, searches and, of course, recognition. The most bitter confession to myself.
Vera Pavlova
The poems of modern poets of the 21st century are especially popular with readers if they talk about something that is close to everyone. For example, love. The famous Russian poetess Vera Pavlova went even further: the main theme of her works is eroticism. That is why her fame in the literary world was constantly accompanied by scandals.
Literary critics did not stop arguing about who Vera Pavlova was. A modern Sappho or a poetess who writes to please the undemanding majority? While the experts could not come to a consensus, the popularity of the author grew with the release of each new collection. And not only love lyrics attracted Pavlov to her readers, but also with a rare ability to explain in an accessible way what the majority simply prefers to remain silent about.
Poems about the winter of modern poets always turn out to be bright and memorable. Vera Pavlova was no exception. Her winter is the personification of the contradictions that accompany us everywhere. At first lyrical hero looking forward to spring, and when it comes, the melting snow begins to regret. This often happens in life. We begin to appreciate something important only at the moment when the understanding comes that it is irretrievably leaving us. That is why modern poets love to speak about winter so much.
Irina Ermakova
Modern poetry cannot do without social verses. They are especially successful with Irina Ermakova. What does it have to do with we are talking not so much about a reaction to political and social changes in life, but about an attempt to awaken good feelings with a lyre. Strictly according to the precepts of Pushkin.
At a time when the poems of modern poets of the 21st century are almost always I-centered, Ermakova addresses exclusively her reader, making him her interlocutor.
One of the pinnacles of her work is the poem collection "Beehive". This is the best example of how a person can be taught tolerance, which is talked about so much in Lately. And do it without imposing your opinion. Most organically.
Linor Goralik
A distinctive feature of many contemporary poets is their strict adherence to the latest changes in fashion, slang and culture. Perhaps Linor Goralik does it best. In her poems one can find placers of signs today. Moreover, tweets and memes flow into the works organically due to the large number of artistic and expressive means that the author is fluent in.
What else is so attractive in Goralik's poetry? A fair and accurate description of how a person first encounters some events and phenomena in his life. Love, betrayal, betrayal, death. What to do when faced with a deafening reality? The author tries to answer these questions.
Today, modern poets dedicate not so many poems to children. And here Goralik is again an exception. Moreover, these are not only poems, but also fairy tales, comics, short stories. Anything that might interest a young reader.
For example, the fascinating book "Martin Doesn't Cry" is dedicated to a young elephant who can talk. He lives with a unique family of Smith-Thompson who live in unusual house with just one column. And on their own, without parents. All adults work day and night in a mysterious cloning laboratory (another sign of modernity).
It is from their parents that the Smith-Thompsons receive a parcel one fine morning, in which they find a real talking elephant. True, quite small. It is no larger than a lap dog. Moreover, this baby elephant is somewhat reminiscent of the cat Matroskin from Prostokvashino - he sings old Russian romances, accompanies himself, but not on the guitar, but on the Scottish bagpipe - another amazing ability. But most importantly, he knows how to fall in love strongly. Forever. For life. Moreover, the baby elephant Martin falls in love with an ordinary girl Dina. And this is where the real miracles begin.
And this is not the only book by Goralik that wins children's hearts.
Yes Soya
Modern poets of the 21st century gravitate not only towards the search for meaning, but also towards clarity. Their verses should correspond to the current spirit of the times. Fast and tireless. That is why many prefer to write as concisely, seamlessly and clearly as possible. Perhaps the young poet Yes Soy does it best.
He was born in Ukraine, in Odessa. But very quickly became popular far beyond the borders of his city. His first poetry collection - "Poems from Nothing" - entered the top ten best-selling books in Ukraine.
The guy created his own style, which is almost impossible to repeat. Many try to imitate him, but you always see where Yes Soya is, and where is the imitator.
Moreover, he does not hide behind the doors of his office, in which he creates masterpieces. Yes Soya regularly tours the cities of Russia, Ukraine and other republics of the former Soviet Union. At his poetry evenings, meetings with readers, he is not limited to the monotonous reading of his own poems. He manages to create a unique homely and friendly atmosphere in which everyone feels that they have come not to a creative evening with a famous writer, but to visit a friend. To a friend about whom they have heard a lot for a long time, and only good things, but in reality they saw for the first time.
In many cities, he arranges real "house parties", well known to lovers of informal music from the Soviet past. But here the atmosphere is completely different. For everyone - tea, coffee, cookies, poetry reading, discussion of the latest literary novelties and the opportunity to purchase the latest edition of your favorite author. Precisely for home atmosphere many love this original and original poet so much.
Belinda By Heart
The main theme of the young and popular Belarusian poetess writing in Russian is love. Belinda By heart talks about her in a way that no one has been able to before her. She most accurately and frankly conveys the feelings that she experienced herself. And hundreds and thousands of its readers are yet to learn what love and devotion are. As well as betrayal and treason. After all, they invariably accompany the relationship of many, many young people. Especially inexperienced, who are just trying to find themselves in this crazy world.
Another feature of her poems is that they are all written on behalf of a man. So Belinda by heart skillfully hides behind a fictional mask, giving her works extraordinary and mysterious.
Despite her young age, she has already managed to win the recognition of fans. On the Web, the number of her fans goes to tens of thousands. This is because the problems and suffering that she describes are ultimately familiar to everyone. Therefore, her poems are read with such rapture.
Despite the fact that poems seem to some to be a relic of the past, they still remain relevant for a wide range of readers of different ages.
Modern Russian poets
Poetry is the music of the heart. Our topic today is the modern Russian poetesses, who win thousands of fans around the world who sincerely admire their work.
Among the modern poetesses known to everyone, today we have identified:
- Oh Astakhov.
- Sol Monova.
- Alya Kudryashova.
- Vera Polozkova.
- Vera Pavlova.
- Stephanie Danilov.
- Svetlana Lavrentiev.
- Milena Wright.
Ah Astakhov
29-year-old Russian poetess Irina Astakhova, acting under the pseudonym Akh Astakhova, has already long time active in the most different corners planet - not only in Russia and Ukraine, where she is loved and expected in every city, but also in the Czech Republic, Italy, Georgia, Spain and other countries of the world. Irina's concerts are always filled with lively energy and sunny optimism. Her spontaneity and understandable style can reach anyone, and wisdom and optimism teach each of us something new, bright and warm.
Irina, like many modern poetesses, writes with early age, however, it was made popular by the poem "Do they even love you there?", Recorded on video and posted on YouTube. Today, Irina systematically records more and more new videos on her poems with musical accompaniment:
"I am the last of those who carry lies under their hearts.
Who strikes in the back with a knife and amuses himself empty.
You do not love me. If you don't like it - so be it.
I am full of contempt to the brim, contempt is full of yours ... "
Sola Monova
Sola Monova (Yulia Solomonova) is another talent from the "modern poetess" category. She was born in Volgograd, graduated from the Moscow Institute with a degree in filmmaking and is now actively arranging. A happy mother of two children and the wife of a famous designer, Sola remains true to her talent - she constantly pleases readers with her work. On her page you can find many new works that are constantly updated.
Sola has an incredible style - sharp, ironic, funny. Not only sensitive women, but also harsh men laugh and cry at her poems. And the humor of this woman, which helps her turn any pain into laughter, can only be envied! Sola has a variety of poems - lyrical, satirical and even obscene. There is a group on VKontakte dedicated only to Sola's obscene verses (and there are many of them).
Here are a few lines from her poem:
"I'll stop a galloping horse.
I am a strong woman. I love you.
You were unkempt, but now
I'll take care of you..."
And we continue the theme of "modern poetess of Russia", the list of which continues Alya Khaitlina.
Alya Kudryashova
Alya Kudryashova (since 2015 - Khaitlina, by her mother's maiden name) is a St. Petersburg poetess, winner of numerous poetry competitions. The girl has a unique style both in clothes and in creativity.
Her work is a mixture of sharpness, a kind of surrealism and an echo of a subtle spiritual mood that easily falls on paper and folds into a rhyme. Poems may seem somewhat absurd, however, they are unique and certainly deserve respect. Many famous people, among which the soloist of the Splin group Sasha Vasilyev, call the girl a truly talented poetess who knows how to clearly and accurately express her emotions in words, while finding an answer in the hearts of thousands of her readers:
"I care about shooting stars
Don't pull your hands.
I have seven hundred miles left
Until my anguish."
Vera Polozkova
The modern poetess Vera Polozkova is perhaps one of the first to become wildly popular among Internet users. She has been writing since the age of 5. Each verse of this girl is saturated with a whole bunch of feelings - a lot of conflicting emotions, in which the aromas of spiritual wisdom, optimism, sadness, harshness are mixed. Poems, even if you do not take them to heart the first time, will still find a path to your heart and firmly settle in it. They want to re-read again and again, looking for a new meaning.
Recently, Vera became the mother of a wonderful baby, which, as she admits, significantly influenced her creativity and self-expression. Despite a certain harshness in her works, Polozkova knows how to write with optimism and motivation, which, you see, is very important for a poetess whose works are read by millions of people from different countries.
Vera Pavlova
Vera Pavlova can also be safely classified as a "modern poetess". Vera was born in Moscow in 1963. She has two daughters and is married to literary translator Stephen Seymour.
A woman with extraordinary talents, Vera Pavlova has been engaged in musical creativity for a long time - she composed music, sang. Only at the age of 20, with the birth of her first daughter Natalia, did inspiration push her onto a new creative path. The first verse was born suddenly, and since then her work has grown many times, shone with new facets. Each of her verses is filled with feelings familiar to each of us, but at the same time distorted by the unique perception of the author. Unique texts cannot be repeated - only Vera Pavlova can write like that.
In Russia, 18 books of the Faith were published, which were translated into dozens of languages of the world:
"I'm climbing out of my skin to touch your skin.
Not similar in faces, we are similar in skins -
we feel the approach of the impossible with our skin:
frost on the skin and heat, heat subcutaneous ... "
Stefania Danilova
Stefania Danilova (or simply Steph) is a very young contemporary Russian poetess who already has crowds of fans who dedicate poems, music and storm her concerts to her. The girl is really incredibly talented - and, most importantly, in her work there is depth and wisdom, understanding and acceptance of the world. That is exactly what we sometimes miss. Steph has already won numerous prestigious titles and has released eight books, one of which is "1teen" just released.
Stefania was born in Syktyvkar, but almost immediately moved to St. Petersburg. She wrote her first poem when she was almost 4 years old. Today Steph is popular not only in countries former USSR but also abroad. Organized more than 70 concert programs.
"I'm getting tired of creating whiteness from soot.
I'm tired of going to hell and beyond.
I waste my sight on meaningless landscapes
and I can't read a single letter in them.
None of the roads underfoot, alas, will say
that I choose the wrong one from them ... "
Svetlana Lavrentieva (cat Basho)
Svetlana Lavrentyeva, acting under the pseudonym Kot Basho, is a talented woman who writes so accurately and piercingly that it is simply impossible not to admire. Her allegories are amazing and unique - they make one admire not only the meaning, but also the interesting style of her creations. Sveta knows how to accurately and accurately select comparisons and rhymes her works in an interesting way.
Basho the cat is a philologist by profession. Svetlana lives and works in Krasnodar and has a son, Artem. She claims that life is her main passion. He is the head of the advertising and production company "Clouds". To date, Sveta has given many concerts attended by hundreds of people who admire her work. Her main zest is writing poetry in prose.
The work of Svetlana Lavrentieva is an example of subtle and insightful poetry. Many poems by modern poetesses are written in a more strict and harsh form. Light turns its creations into perfect combination meaning and interesting rhyme.
Milena Wright
Milena is more of a public figure than a poetess, however, she can also be safely included in the list of "modern poetesses". Most often, she writes quatrains, accurately and briefly expressing her feelings and emotions. Like all poets, she writes mainly about love. Milena lives and works in St. Petersburg - an amazing city for amazing people.
Almost nothing is known about her life - the girl skillfully avoids any questions about herself and her past. By agreeing to an interview, she avoids many questions, but considers the question of love to be the most tactless. And it doesn't matter what it used to be. In the present, she is a talented poetess and organizer of the literary community of St. Petersburg. In the meetings of writers that Milena arranges, many young poets take part, exchange their creativity and ideas.
"I'll wait for you until winter.
Until the February frosts.
I won't tell anyone that you
My memory,
My world,
My air".
Conclusion
All the modern poetesses described above, the list of which, by the way, can be continued, are popular creative personalities, which collect huge concert halls, on whose poems they shoot clips and write music.
Poetry is like sex. If you don't want it, then you don't need it.
And for those in whose life the poems did not end synchronously with the last school bell, we decided to collect five iconic for modern girl young poets.
Vera Polozkova
Her poems were reposted on the pages of social networks even by those who taught in literature lessons not what they liked, but what was in two columns. Insolent, tall, in colored baubles, jeans and novels, writing only about herself and about herself - Polozkova persistently did not like serious writers who hoarsely recited to each other in narrow vodka-cucumber circles.
Because the artist is the years of hunger, consumption, repression and oblivion. And not nineteen, the fourth breast size, LJ, the nickname is Vero4ka and “you want him so much that you even feel sick.” There are no such poets, well, there is no such thing!
Famous lines:
Quit it, there are means;
Not the same man at all.
I have to him, you know - childhood,
Childhood is incurable.
Anna Dovgaleva (Lemert)
Anna looks exactly like a young, terribly talented poetess should look like: red-haired, angular, not too thin, dressed without fanfare and fashion tags.
This is absolutely the case when, when reading poetry, you imagine a completely different image: impudent, sharp-tongued, wrapped in black and leather, such a young Angelina Jolie - with a cigarette and a sweeping tattoo on her shoulder. Lemert does not bother and writes about everything: cats, youth, freedom, love, death. It writes something like this...
Famous lines:
collect no more things than goes into your backpack,
do not have dogs and children,
don't get fat, don't get attached, don't get rich,
leave on a night like this: silver zigzag
lightning, downed power lines,
rain in the face and some hail.
Alya Kudryashova (izubr)
Sasha Vasiliev from Spleen called her the new Brodsky - and, I must say, he was sober and did not joke at all. Straightforward, angry either at herself or at the Lord God, Kudryashova is an example of a girl with whom it is good to be friends, but, chur-chur, to be her mother. Irritated, exalted, hanging out at strange poetry competitions almost from the cradle, constructing subtle, sincere poems even from the composition on a shampoo can ... You will definitely fall in love with her way of handling words, do not even hesitate.
Famous lines:
And her cheek is soft and her hand is light,
And in everything you are right, and in business you have not yet failed.
Next time she'll scream bye
It won't scream everything you killed her with.
Ah Astakhov
Fashion-poetess - probably this is how it would be more correct to call Astakhova. Stylish, beautiful, subtle, paying almost more attention to the presentation of poems than to their content. However, fans of Akh Astakhova claim that they love her not at all for red lipstick and sharp knees. And for the sniper hit with rhymes in the very pulp of their hearts.
30,000 subscribers only in contact - proof of this.
Famous lines:
to no longer look weak and boring.
but remember: relatives are not abandoned. do not destroy.
Well, why are you silent? tell me don't torment
do they even love you there?
Do they even love you there?
Stefania Danilova
No matter how hard it is for us to believe that people born in 1994 can already be considered famous poets (and write not only about birds and the sun), but the fact is the fact. Danilova 19, they read it from the screens of iPods and love it to tears, goosebumps and everything that is supposed to be in such situations. It’s good to get drunk under her lines - those who know advise.
Famous lines:
You, alas, I was not promised
neither the title of "beloved", nor "friend".
But I am yours
over the abysswomen -
I hope for the insurance of gentle hands.
