Yuri Kublanovsky’s new book “In a Light Year” consists of poems written by the poet after returning from political emigration. Some of them were included in the author’s previous lyrical collections, but for this edition they have been edited and clarified by him again. The last section of the book “On the Way Back” - poems from magazine periodicals of recent years - are published in new versions and compositional unity. Yuri Kublanovsky is a laureate of the 2003 Alexander Solzhenitsyn Literary Prize.
