“Before us is a great Poet, unlike anyone else. You read his poems... and it seems that he has already said everything about himself and about us, the readers... But it turns out - no: here’s more about himself and also about us. His poetry creates images of the mental life of people who are different from each other, even opposing each other. This is the property of true art. Reading the poems of Leonid Filatov, everyone can say: the world is also poetry.” A. Volodin The collection includes selected poems by Leonid Filatov.
