Golynko D. Chto jeto bylo i drugie obosnovanija

Author Golynko D.
Title Chto jeto bylo i drugie obosnovanija
Description “What Was That and Other Justifications” marks an important stage in the development of Dmitry Golynko’s poetics. While in his earlier books the author was already moving away from conventional lyric poetry towards more direct social analysis, here that movement becomes still more radical. The core of the collection consists of large serial cycles that the poet himself describes as a kind of “epic panorama”: individual experience collides with the language of society, politics, mass culture and the contemporary urban environment. The texts emerge at the intersection of surrealist writing, visual practices and sociocultural observation. Instead of self-contained lyrical statements, there are extended blocks, repetitions, catalogues and sequences of speech that could potentially continue without end.

The book opens with a foreword by the cultural historian Kevin M. F. Platt.
