Poems by modern poets. Contemporary Russian poetesses
Well, the time has come to talk more or less substantively about contemporary poetry, gentlemen, poets and readers.
A lot of copies were 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 critical critics about the ways of development of poetry are very diverse and unanimity is achieved only in one thing: the last quarter of the XX century was marked by an 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 then, what the hell is not kidding, and analyze the accumulated material, rubbing the nose of 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 colorful mosaic of modern poetry.
It is clear that for the most complete picture of the state of the lyrics, it is necessary to assess 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 an amateur is hardly able to shoulder it in full. 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, so it is worth mentioning the main problems of the traditions of Russian poetry in modern poetry.
And I'll probably start from the years 60-70s. for it is this period that is marked by the opposition of the so-called "Loud" and "quiet" poetry, which is rooted in classical Russian and practically does not argue with it in anything, unlike subsequent generations of poets.
First appeared "Loud" poetry E. Yevtushenko, A. Voznesensky, R. Rozhdestvensky, B. Akhmadullina - poets-publicists, tribunes, orators (it is well known that poetic art is a form of self-consciousness of a person expressing 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 principle in poetry intensifies. I think it is clear that the term "catastrophe" is used here not in a direct, utilitarian sense, but rather in terms of denoting an internal breakdown, rebirth of morality and liberation from imposed, stereotyped ideas about "what is good and what is bullshit."
And in verses, accordingly, there is inevitably a double world. The opposition between material and spiritual principles is becoming more acute. One feels the striving for the ideal, imaginary worlds. Lyrics, as an expression of "ego", the one and only and therefore precious, as a complete embodiment of individual, purely personal mental states has always been more tenacious).
So, E. Evtushenko, A. Voznesensky, R. Rozhdestvensky. All of them were initially 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 a cultural situation 60 - 70 years. these two poets represented realism and romanticism, concreteness and convention, democracy and elitism.
"Quiet" the lyricists were united by a gravitation towards personal and psychological themes, an interest in the Russian landscape, and traditional poetic meter. The prominent representatives of this group are N. Rubtsov, V. Sokolov, O. Chukhontsev.
The last representatives of the "Silver Age" A. Tarkovsky, S. Lipkin, I. Lisnyanskaya remained in modern poetry. Their works are closely related to the complex and varied manifestations of the Silver Age literature. Poetry, for example, by Arseny Tarkovsky, clearly and unequivocally continues the tradition of acmeism.
A special phenomenon is poetic underground.
The works of underground authors challenge the Soviet system, Soviet values, the Soviet way of thinking. This challenge manifests itself in ideological and philosophical attitudes: poets touch upon the ulcers of the old society, oppose the battalions of the state with a free independent person, paying attention to the tragedy of Being (N. Korzhavin, V. Kornilov, B. Chichibabin).
A challenge was also thrown up by the rejection of lifelikeness, 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. Aygi, I. Brodsky, poets of SMOG / The Youngest Society of Geniuses / - L. Gubanov, A. Basilova, Y. Galanskov, as well as I. Elagin, Y. Miloslavsky came to the readers. Actually, the poets of internal emigration are not much different from the real emigrants:
We do not know our tomorrow's fate,
And we will not understand the fate of yesterday.
I. Lisnyanskaya
These names, the names of poets are more emigrants in fact than those who really 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 - author's song. Contrary to modern centrifugal social and moral-ethical processes that throw man away from man, the author's song, which restored the essence of friendship and brotherly love in rights, has become a single hymn to partnership and mutual assistance. Contrary to the tendency 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, Yu. Kim, N. Matveeva remind of the fact that one can and should live with dignity, focusing on the spiritual covenant of the Russian intelligentsia. Let me note in parentheses that here both the strength and the weakness of this trend were inherited directly from the classical poets.
However, rock poetry, or rather certain of its representatives, inherited these qualities to a certain extent. For example, the poetry of A. Makarevich or B. Grebenshchikov, for all its outrageousness, is civic poetry, closely connected with the "spite of the day" and with the range of values, ideas, moods of today's youth and not only young people.
"Children of December", as B. Grebenshchikov called hisgeneration, acutely responsive to the gap between social demagogyand routine social practice. In rock poetry, there is a longing for a common, uniting each and every ideal:
There must be a star in our place
You feel the draft from the fact
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, for as the largest historian of Russian rock I. Smirnov: “... I will allow myself to nenie a rock composition with a three-headed dragon. His three heads areactually rock MUSIC, rock poetry and rock theater "; "For him habasically borrowing the expressive means of traditional genesmoat: musical, poetic (text) and theatrical (show), whichrye form a single and indivisible whole into its constituent elements -ROCK-COMPOSITION ".
Of course, an adequate consideration of rock poetry is impossible without considering other components of rock composition, but for a number of reasons (the logocentricity of Russian rock, the 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, to put it simply, a poetic text. So, if we talk about the 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 authors and performers included in rock culture could be brought. One can, perhaps, speak only of a special manner of lack of direct explication of meaning, which is unusual for other directions of Russian song poetry of our time, the same bardic, above-mentioned, although many of these directions are borrowed by rock, though in a very peculiar way.
Next on the list worth mentioning poets of the "new wave"as they are often called.Poets of nontraditional, “habitual” poets who do not fit into the system of artistic thinking. They try to asserttheir right to speak in a language adequate to their time and outlook 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", "meta-realists"- sharply dissociated themselves from the Sots-Art games postmodernists... If the metaphorists affirm the cult of polystylistics (one can name here Yu. Arabov, I. Zhdanov, A. Eremenko, I. Irteniev, A. Parshchikov), then the postmodern poets are united by the desire to abandon the “teacher's” role of literature and limit it to purely game tasks. In addition, postmodernism presupposes an extreme degree of the artist's aloofness, and in poetry, the meaning destroys this aloofness. And, and one more of the central ideas of postmodernism: chaos, as a principle of the existence of the world, actually does not even allow it to be voiced, since voicing this idea presupposes a system and contradicts it. Therefore, in practice, in poetry, postmodernism is most often comprehended by already existing ways: close to it zany, poetry of absurdity, futurism and OBERIUs, literary play in the spirit of Kuzma Prutkov.
TO postmodernism refers conceptualism(the prominent representatives of which are D. Prigov, L. Rubinstein, T. Kibirov). The poetry of these authors is based on the destruction of the familiar unambiguous concepts of the world and on the use of texts familiar to the reader, rethought and acquired a completely different sound.
Conceptualists stubbornly strive to prove that art as such has exhausted itself, that it is internally absurd.For a conceptualist, first of all, it is importantan idea, an intellectual rather than an emotional experience. Where the artist (in a broad sense) is seen as the creator not of works, but of ideas of works.
Another interesting direction is the so-called "Gallant lyrics"Order of courtly mannerists - V. Stepantsov, V. Pelenyagre, A. Dobrynin, K. Grigoriev, D. Bykov. Their sophisticated style is not just another parody buffoonery and destructive irony, but a brilliant adherence to a thoroughly forgotten "Russian era" from M. Chemnitser and M. Kheraskov to G. Ivanov and V. Nabokov. The poets of this group resort to the "mask" technique, combining high poetry and medieval eroticism with modernity.
By the way, I will dwell separately on Bykov, which stands alone here. We can say that he is the most extreme follower of this trend: the meaning is so important for him that the straightforwardness of his statements and the peculiarity of artistic means (numerous enzhambemanes, often verses are not divided into lines, but are written in the form of a prose text) make his poetry akin to prose. 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 civic lyrics: satirical essays in verse. He himself divides his work into two parts: poetry itself or lyric poetry and separate from it "letters of happiness", as he calls his essays in verse. In them, he is sharp, and showing a caustic sense of humor, speaks out about current events in the country and in the world.
The above-mentioned poets are directly opposed by the so-called poets "pochvenniki"- in the first row of these representatives of the direction of poetry, the origins of which 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 journalism and try to comprehendthe deep meaning of everything that happens in Russia.
Generation zero. Here we can just turn to the so-called "Network poetry" the emergence and distribution of which was due to the Internet, of course.
The 2000s brought many new phenomena to poetry: the Soviet era of single poetic and literary associations (although they formed the literary space), even counting the state ones, gave way to 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 diminished. Instead, the Internet began to play the role of spreading poetry, and this very "network" poetry was formed. It has not acquired any distinctive and independent features (not counting computer vocabulary); it is, first of all, a way of dissemination, "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 makes it possible 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 are DmitryVodennikov and Vera Polozkov.
Well, of course, like everywhere and always in modern lyrics, there are authors who are difficult to identify in any group or direction. They are T. Beck, O. Sedakova, V. Sidur, S. Kekova, V. Dmitriev, L. Taran and others.
So, here I briefly, concisely, I can say, tried to classify trends and tendencies 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 focus specifically on two, so to speak, the heights of modern poetry - two Vladimirs - Mayakovsky and Vysotsky.
However, on 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 creative people who feel them most keenly write about the current realities. 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 the real masterpieces of literary art.
Want to figure out who is really worth reading today? Then you cannot 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. A prominent representative of the 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 a Heraldic Soul".
In addition to poetry, Prigov created a large number of graphic works, collages, and arranged performances. He starred in several films - "Taxi Blues" and "Khrustalev, a car!"
Many contemporary Russian poets are guided by him in their work. His main lyrical images are "militian" (in this writing) and "abstract he". They look at the world around them through the eyes of a layman.
His poems are the answer to the question of whether art can exist after the terrible events of the 20th century - Auschwitz, the Gulag, World War II, when the very existence of man, and not just culture, was in question.
In his poems, Prigov argues that poetry is dead, and world culture has disintegrated into many small pieces. But from them it is still possible to assemble something whole.
Prigov's works are constructive 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
Contemporary 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 pupils and hated himself for his intellectual cowardice. At the end of the 20th century, he passed one of the most sober and accurate judgments of his time. He rejected modernity in such concepts as mercy and kindness, replacing the cultural language with thug argot. He, like Prigov, is a representative of contemporary Russian postmodernism.
In his poems, one cannot find the usual themes - love, friendship. Its main theme is Russia. A 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, you can always distinguish the works of Losev. They are filled with explicit and implicit quotes, a lot of opposing 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 are still the inner experiences of a person who is left alone. His tireless, but at the same time senseless search for the meaning of life and the answer to the question: "What will happen after death?"
Boris Ryzhiy
Another outstanding contemporary poet is Boris Ryzhiy. He was born in Chelyabinsk, lived in Yekaterinburg. He grew up in a courtyard environment, among the working people who worked from morning till night in factories, and neighbors who returned from prison. But even this environment did not prevent him from becoming the last romantic of the dashing nineties.
The redhead offers his own survival strategy - to accept the surrounding reality as it is, and then become its hero, an active participant. He is his own among the courtyard punks, the lost generation of his classmates who grew up in the 90s. He manages to convey his idea to every reader. His themes are eternal and at the same time as relevant as ever: love and death, an attempt to become famous and leave a mark about oneself in this world, bordering on complete self-destruction.
During his short creative career he wrote about one and a half thousand poems, of which they managed to publish about 350. Winner of the prestigious Russian literary prize "Antibooker".
In 2001, at the age of 26, he committed suicide. Contemporary poet Boris Ryzhiy hanged himself in his own apartment in Yekaterinburg. 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 the Russia of the 90s was Oleg Chukhontsev. But he, unlike Boris Ryzhiy, did it from the point of view of another, more mature generation. If for Red the 90s were the beginning of an independent and meaningful life, for Chukhontsev, who was born in 1938, in the 90s the Soviet era ended, in which he lived most of his life.
Poets of the modern age, such as Chukhontsev, are chroniclers of their time. They notice the emblems and myths of the era with amazing accuracy. Moreover, his language is not so simple, an unprepared person will not be able to immediately figure out what the author wanted to say.
He started publishing in the late 50s. However, he could not publish his poems as a separate book. And after the release in 1968 of his poem "The Story of Kurbsky" was completely erased from Soviet literary life. A real persecution of the poet began. The strictest ban was imposed on the publication of his poems. He, like most of the disgraced poets, was left to translate.
Chukhontsev remains relevant today. His poems began to be published in large quantities, and the poet himself was awarded awards and prizes.
Sergey Gandlevsky
The poems of contemporary poets often reflect the works of more famous and popular predecessors. So, Sergei Gandlevsky is the direct literary heir of Khodasevich. His work, like no other, is capable of teaching the reader a sober and clear look at himself and the world around him.
Almost everything fits in Gandlevsky's poems. Charming youth, disappointed maturity, hopes, searches and, of course, recognition. The most bitter confessions to myself.
Vera Pavlova
The poems of modern poets of the 21st century are especially popular with readers if they talk about what is close to everyone. For example, love. The famous Russian poet 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 writing to please the undemanding majority? While experts could not come to a consensus, the author's popularity grew with the release of each new collection. And not only with love lyrics, Pavlova attracted her readers, but also with a rare ability to easily explain what the majority simply prefers to keep silent about.
Poems about the winter of modern poets always turn out bright and memorable. Vera Pavlova was no exception. Her winter is the personification of the contradictions that accompany us everywhere. At first, the lyrical hero looks forward to spring, and when it comes, he begins to feel sorry for the melting snow. This often happens in life. We begin to appreciate something important only at the moment when the understanding comes that it is irrevocably leaving us. That is why modern poets love to speak about winter so much.
Irina Ermakova
Social poetry is indispensable in modern poetry. They are especially successful with Irina Ermakova. And here we are talking not so much about the reaction to political and social changes in life, but about an attempt to awaken good feelings with the lyre. Strictly according to the precepts of Pushkin.
At a time when the verses of modern poets of the 21st century are almost always self-centered, Ermakova addresses exclusively her reader, makes him her interlocutor.
One of the peaks of her work is the collection of poems "The Beehive". This is the best example of how you can teach a person to tolerance, which has been so much talked about lately. And to do this without imposing your opinion. As organic as possible.
Linor Goralik
A distinctive feature of many modern poets is their strict adherence to the latest changes in fashion, slang and culture. Perhaps Linor Goralik is the best at this. In her poems one can find placers of signs of the present day. Moreover, tweets and memes flow into the works organically due to the large number of artistic and expressive means that the author owns perfectly.
What else is so attractive in Goralik's poetry? A fair and accurate description of how a person first encounters some events and phenomena of 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 devote 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 baby elephant who can talk. He lives with the unique Smith-Thompson family, who live in an unusual house with just one pillar. And by themselves, without parents. All adults work day and night in a mysterious cloning laboratory (another sign of modernity).
It is from the parents of the Smith-Thompsons that one fine morning they receive a package in which they find the most 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 bagpipes - another amazing ability. But most importantly, he knows how to fall deeply in love. Forever and ever. For life. Moreover, Martin the elephant falls in love with an ordinary girl Dina. And this is where real miracles begin.
And this is not the only book by Goralik that conquers children's hearts.
Es Soya
Modern poets of the 21st century gravitate not only to the search for meaning, but also to clarity. Their poems must correspond to the current spirit of the times. Fast and tireless. That is why many people prefer to write as concisely, consistently and clearly as possible. Perhaps, the young poet Yes Soy does it best.
He was born in Ukraine, in Odessa. But very quickly it became popular far beyond the borders of its city. His first collection of poems - "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 Es Soya is, and where is the imitator.
Moreover, he does not hide behind the doors of his office, in which he creates masterpieces. Es Soya regularly tours the cities of Russia, Ukraine and other republics of the former Soviet Union. At his poetry evenings, meetings with readers, he does not limit himself to the monotonous reading of his own poetry. 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 we heard a lot for a long time, and only good, but in reality they saw for the first time.
In many cities, he arranges real "apartment houses", familiar to lovers of informal music from the Soviet past. But the atmosphere here is completely different. For everyone - tea, coffee, cookies, reading poetry, discussing the latest literary novelties and the opportunity to purchase the latest edition of your favorite author. It is for the homely atmosphere that many people love this original and distinctive poet so much.
Belinda By Heart
The main theme of a young and popular Belarusian poetess writing in Russian is love. Belinda recounts her by heart in a way that no one else has been able to do before. She most accurately and frankly conveys the feelings that she experienced herself. And hundreds and thousands of its readers only have to learn what love and devotion are. And also betrayal and treason. After all, they invariably accompany the relationship of many, many young people. Especially inexperienced people 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 is skillfully hiding by heart behind an invented 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 she describes are ultimately familiar to everyone. Therefore, her poems are read with such ecstasy.
Despite the fact that the poems seem to some a relic of the past, they still remain relevant for a wide range of readers of different ages.
Contemporary Russian poetesses
Poetry is the music of the heart. Our topic today is contemporary 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:
- Ah Astakhov.
- Solu Monova.
- Alya Kudryashov.
- Vera Polozkova.
- Vera Pavlova.
- Stephanie Danilov.
- Svetlana Lavrentiev.
- Milena Wright.
Ah Astakhova
The 29-year-old Russian poet Irina Astakhova, acting under the pseudonym Akh Astakhova, has been actively performing for a long time in various parts of the world - 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 clear syllable are able to reach out to anyone, and wisdom and optimism teach each of us something new, light and warm.
Irina, like many modern poetesses, writes from an early age, however, the poem "Do they even love you there?", Recorded on video and posted on YouTube, made her popular. Today Irina systematically records more and more videos on her poems with musical accompaniment:
"I am the last of those who carry lies under their hearts.
Who stabs in the back and consoles himself empty.
You do not love me. If you don’t love it, so what.
I am filled with contempt to the brim with your contempt ... "
Sola Monova
Sola Monova (Julia Solomonova) is another talent from the category of "modern poetesses". She was born in Volgograd, graduated from the Moscow Institute with a degree in director and is now actively satisfied with the 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 severe men laugh and cry over her poems. And the humor of this woman, which helps her to turn any pain into laughter, can only be envied! Sola has a variety of poems - lyrical, satirical and even obscene. "VKontakte" has a group dedicated only to Sola's swear words (and there are many of them).
Here are a few lines from her poem:
"I will stop the galloping horse.
I am a strong woman. I love you.
You were unkempt, but now
I will take care of you ... "
And we are continuing the theme of "contemporary poetesses of Russia", the list of which is continued by Alya Khaitlina.
Alya Kudryashova
Alya Kudryashova (since 2015 - Khaitlina, by her mother's maiden name) is a Petersburg poet, laureate of numerous poetry competitions. The girl has a unique style both in clothing and in creativity.
Her work is a mixture of harshness, a kind of surrealism and an echo of a subtle emotional mood, which easily falls on paper and forms a rhyme. The poems may seem a little absurd, however, they are unique and undoubtedly deserve respect. Many famous people, including the lead singer of the "Splin" group Sasha Vasiliev, call the girl a truly talented poetess who knows how to clearly and accurately express her emotions in words, while finding the answer in the hearts of thousands of her readers:
"I'm up to the shooting stars
Do not pull your hands.
I have seven hundred miles left
Until my longing. "
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 she was 5 years old. Each verse of this girl is saturated with a whole bouquet of feelings - a lot of conflicting emotions, which mix the aromas of spiritual wisdom, optimism, sadness, harshness. 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. You want to re-read them again and again, looking for new meaning.
Vera recently became the mother of a wonderful baby, which, as she admits, has 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 the poetess, whose works are read by millions of people from different countries.
Vera Pavlova
Vera Pavlova can also be safely attributed to the category of "modern poetesses." Vera was born in Moscow, in the 63rd year. She has two daughters and is married to literary translator Stephen Seymour.
A woman with outstanding 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, inspiration pushed her to a new creative path. The first verse was born suddenly, and since then her work has grown many times over, 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 this way.
In Russia, 18 books of Vera were published, which were translated into dozens of languages \u200b\u200bof the world:
"I climb out of my skin to touch your skin.
Not similar in faces, we are similar in skin -
with our skin we sense the approach of the impossible:
frost on the skin and heat, subcutaneous heat ... "
Stefania Danilova
Stefania Danilova (or simply Stef) is a very young modern Russian poetess who already has crowds of fans who devote poetry, music to her and storm her concerts. The girl is really incredibly talented - and, most importantly, there is depth and wisdom, understanding and acceptance of the world in her work. Exactly what we sometimes lack. Steph has already won many prestigious titles and has published eight books, one of which is "Springteen" just recently.
Stefania was born in Syktyvkar, but almost immediately moved to St. Petersburg. I wrote the first verse at almost 4 years old. Today Stef is popular not only in the countries of the former USSR, but also abroad. She has organized over 70 concert programs.
"I get tired of creating whiteness with soot.
I get tired of going to hell and to hell.
I waste my sight on meaningless landscapes
and I won't read a letter in them.
None of the roads underfoot, alas, will say
that I choose the wrong one ... "
Svetlana Lavrentieva (Basho's cat)
Svetlana Lavrentieva, 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 you admire not only the meaning, but also the interesting syllable of her creations. Sveta knows how to accurately and accurately select comparisons and rhymes her works in an interesting way.
Basho's cat is a philologist by profession. Svetlana lives and works in Krasnodar, 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, which have been attended by hundreds of people who admire her work. Its main highlight is writing prose poetry.
The work of Svetlana Lavrentieva is an example of subtle and insightful poetry. Many poems of modern poetesses are written in a stricter and harsher form. Sveta turns her creations into a perfect combination of 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 happened once. In the present, she is a talented poet and organizer of the literary community of St. Petersburg. Many young poets take part in the meetings of writers that Milena arranges, exchange their creativity and ideas.
"I'll wait for you until winter.
Until the February thick frosts.
I won't tell anyone that you are
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 who gather huge concert halls, on whose verses videos are shot and music is written.
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 in sync with the last school bell, we decided to collect five iconic young poets for a modern girl.
Vera Polozkova
Her poems were reposted on the pages of social networks even by those who in literature lessons taught not what they liked, but what in two columns. Impudent, tall, in colored baubles, jeans and novels, writing only about herself and about herself - Polozkova persistently disliked serious writers who hoarsely recited to each other in narrow vodka and 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 it so that you even feel nauseous." There are no such poets, well, there is no such thing!
Famous lines:
Tie it up, there are means;
Not the man at all.
I have to him, you know, - childhood,
Childhood is incurable.
Anna Dovgaleva (Lemert)
Anna looks exactly the way a young, terribly talented poetess should look: red-haired, angular, not too thin, dressed without fancy and fashionable tags.
This is absolutely the case when, while reading poetry, you imagine a completely different image: impudent, sharp on the tongue, wrapped in black and leather, such a young Angelina Jolie - with a bit of a cigarette and a sweeping tattoo on her shoulder. Lemert does not bother and writes about everything: cats, youth, freedom, love, death. He 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,
go away on a night like this: silver zigzag
lightning, broken power lines,
rain in the face and a little hail.
Alya Kudryashova (izubr)
Sasha Vasiliev from "Splin" 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, mind you, be her mother. Annoyed, exalted, almost hanging out from the cradle at strange poetry competitions, 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 right, and in business is not yet a failure.
Next time she'll scream while
Will not shout out everything you killed her with.
Ah Astakhova
Fashion poetess - probably this is how Astakhova would be called more correctly. Stylish, beautiful, delicate, giving the presentation of poems almost more attention than their content. However, fans of Akh Astakhova claim that they love her not at all for red lipstick and sharp knees. And for sniping rhymes into the very flesh of their hearts.
30,000 subscribers only in contact - proof of this.
Famous lines:
so as not to look weak and boring anymore.
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 fact is fact. Danilova 19, they read her from the screens of iPods and love her to tears, goosebumps and everything that is supposed to be in such situations. Under her lines it is good to get drunk - advise those in the know.
Famous lines:
You, alas, was not promised to me
neither the title "beloved" nor "friend."
But I am yours
over the chasm woman -
i hope for the insurance of gentle hands.
