Mikhail Naumovich Epstein is a Russian philosopher, cultural critic, literary critic, linguist, essayist, winner of the Andrei Bely Prize (1991), the London Institute of Social Invention (1995), the International Essay Competition (Berlin - Weimar, 1999), Liberty (New York , 2000). He is the author of thirty books and more than seven hundred articles and essays, translated into two dozen foreign languages. His new book is devoted to poetry as a special form of speech in which the rhythmic repetition of words enhances their semantic resonance. It talks about the diversity of poetic worlds in literature, about classics and contemporaries, about those directions that formed in the last decades of the 20th century. But poetry is not only poetry, it lives in nature and in society, in being and in thinking. That is why the theme of super-poetry arises in the book - that is, the poetic principle beyond the boundaries of poetry, a way of imaginative thinking that determines the path of civilization.
