Living poets

Who are modern poets? Panks and philosophers, scientists and emigrants, eminent writers and students-radicals, musicians, programmers and factory workers. There are many arguments against the publication of their poems under one cover. And only one - for.

The “Living Poets” project shows how different and contradictory poetry can be. 20,000 applications, authors of 80 cities of 15 countries - three years, the team of Andrei Orlovsky is looking for unusual voices and helps them be heard.

The name “Living Poets” is reduced to the catchy “zhe” and becomes a position. Everything can be real: ignore the rules of the language, raise sick and uncomfortable topics, write about them using any vocabulary. Does it sound defiant? - Perhaps. Dischapping and unaccounted poems? - Yes, most often. But at the same time sincere and real, and therefore - living.
