Gleb Gorbovsky of the 90s is already a new, bright phenomenon of modern Russian poetry; the poet’s last poems are close to Tyutchev’s traditions of philosophical lyrics. The collection is being published to mark the 70th anniversary of his birth and the 50th anniversary of the creative activity of Gleb Gorbovsky.
