Marked by the vibrancy and self-grandiosity of a rising literary star, the early poems seek to forge a new language by dissembling the old. The later poems, stripped of formal experimentation, reveal a meditative consciousness refined through years of personal turmoil. By turns inscrutable and aphoristic, caustic and tender, morose and ebullient, the poems express the poet's evolving view of poetry and the rapidly changing world around him."--Publisher's website (viewed 2018 October 23). 
545 0 |a "Vasilisk (Vasily) Gnedov (1890-1978), a central figure in Russian Futurism, published his best-known work, Death to Art, on the brink of the first World War. Abrasive and wily in his younger years, he became known for his provocations and poetry, which actively sought to collapse language in on itself. Swept up by the cataclysmic events of twentieth-century Russia, he eventually returned to his homeland of Ukraine, where he died in obscurity."--Publisher's website (viewed 2018 October 23).
