The special, intense genuineness of the intonations of Dmitry Bykov’s poems, their impetuous, uncontrollable rhythm cannot be confused with anything. His poems amaze with the accuracy and wit of the lines, the authenticity and depth of experience so that it becomes clear: before us is a master. In the poetic space of Dm. Bykov, a whole era unfolds, and, now arguing, now agreeing with it, now starting a feverish dance, the subtle and nervous life of an individual. The National Bestseller and Big Book award winner's new book features the best selections as well as new poems by the poet.
