This section of the collection consists of poetic works from the late sixties - early seventies - the relatively “prosperous” period of Arkady Kutilov’s life. The poet no longer has a roof over his head, but still resists his “status” as a homeless person as best he can. A friend's corner, a hospital ward, a camp barracks become the only places where one can indulge in creativity. However, it is precisely this period that is the most fruitful in his entire creative biography, and the poems of this time, as well as the “taiga lyrics,” are the author’s most published works
