Abstract

This co-authored monograph is reviewed as a conceptual and holistic study devoted to the literary lifestyle and works of the modern Russian poet Boris Ryzhy. The section ‘Studies’ explores individual aspects of Ryzhy’s poetics — its motif structure, conceptosphere, and intertextual relations, as well as the semantic aura of the meter and the poet’s optics. The section ‘Materials’ contains sources that, hitherto almost inaccessible, are now painstakingly collected and commented.
