Network. The trout breaks the ice. Kuzmin M.

Our collection includes two poetic cycles of Mikhail Alekseevich Kuzmin (1872, or, according to his personal mythology, 1875–1936). The first and last, the two best collections for the poet himself: “In my opinion, evaluating all collections according to the five-point system, it will turn out:“ Network ”(after all),“ OS of the lake ”-3.“ Clay pigeons ”-2,“ Echo ” - 2,“ Enjoying evenings ” - 4.“ The counselor ” - 4,“ new ghoul ” - 3,“ parabola ” - 4,“ trout ” - 5”. The distance between the cycles is twenty -one years, the “network” is 1908, “trout defeats ice” - 1929. It is all the more interesting to observe the evolution of style, mystical predictions, permanent motives of water and deified freedom of love.
