The book of selected works by Nikolai Nikolaevich Aseev (1889–1963) includes the best that he created over almost 50 years (from 1914 to 1963). The publication focuses on the early, most vibrant period of creativity, when Aseev’s poetry developed in the mainstream of futurism. Being a friend of V. Mayakovsky, working alongside V. Khlebnikov, B. Pasternak and other talented poets, Nikolai Aseev had his own lyrical voice. His poetry is distinguished by its songlike intonations and attracts with a language close to Russian folklore.
