Poetic perception of the world. Kushner A.

Poets feel time almost the same as physicists: time is one and continuously - for the poet Alexander Kushner, this is quite obvious. And therefore, Lermontov can be with Pasternak at the same table, and after centuries and years the live rollback of Nekrasov with Derzhavin, Chukovsky with Blok, Mandelstam with Tyutchev, Baratynsky with Brodsky and all - Pushkin.

are captured. The author’s thoughts about the poetry of the Golden XIX and the Silver XX centuries, about its connections with the present, as well as the philosophical lyrics of A. S. Kushner. In general, the whole book is the apology of poetry.

“Poetry is a battery of happiness, an energy drive. The poet put this energy into his poems, and we get it after many years from poetic lines. ” “Poetry inspires us with a feeling of freedom also because it does not work in ready -made formulas and positions... it is contradictory, but sincere... in every poem,” says Alexander Kushner. In addition, “over a person reading poetry, it is more difficult to triumph than who does not read them” (from the speech of Joseph Brodsky when he was awarded to him by the Nobel Prize).

All this may go far beyond School idea of ​​the role and place of poetry in real life. But the book is remarkable that can give each reader as much as he can perceive.
