The collection “My Songs” includes both poetic trinkets from the repertoire of “Crooked Jimmy” and many old poems by Agnivtsev, published in pre-revolutionary St. Petersburg magazines. “My Songs”... They sank, dissolved, like sparkling sparkles, in the great the stormy sea of folk poetry - jangling, melodious ringing, echoes of bells and violins, which do not belong to anyone and henceforth belong to everyone. Mischievous, frivolous, fantasy, sweet erotic couplets ring carefree and cheerfully - ring about dreams that are given the opportunity to survive the overthrow of rulers and tyrants , rustle about carefree romantic nonsense, about colorful, motley patterns woven on the wonderful carpet of life, where even death is just one of the bright colored peas scattered across the patterned fabric.
