The reader usually does not have to count on the poet writing his own biography; in most cases, poets never do this. The poet, by and large, never has to count on being given the right to present his life to the reader as he himself would like. In Linor Goralik's project "Private Individuals", poets have the freedom to tell about themselves on their own terms, and readers have a rare opportunity to get acquainted with their autobiographies, practically undistorted by intermediaries. The second volume of “Private Individuals” includes autobiographies of twelve poets: Lev Rubinstein, Polina Barskova, Stanislav Lvovsky, Evgenia Lavut, Ivan Akhmetyev, Evgeny Bunimovich, Gali-Dana Zinger, Demyan Kudryavtsev, Nikolai Zvyagintsev, Sergei Kruglov, Dmitry Vedenyapin and Dmitry Vodennikov .
