This edition is the first publication of poems by Semyon Kirsanov, written by him in Odessa from 1916 (he was 16 years old!) until 1922. The carefully preserved notebooks of poems he then prepared for printing have not seen the light of day until today. Of course, these are the experiments of a beginning poet, but they give an idea of how the poet grew up and learned to write poetry. All manuscripts are stored in the Odessa Literary Museum. The text of the book was translated from the original language using an artificial intelligence program. For the most part, the translation of the text is of very high quality, but in some cases, due to the imperfection of the technology, there may be incorrect phrase translations in the text, as well as single words and expressions may not be translated.
