In the evening "Russian Poets. A New Spring," poetry enthusiasts gathered to discuss modern trends and the development of poetic language in the 21st century. The organizers emphasized the relevance of questions regarding the formation of contemporary poetry, changes in literary speech, and the interaction of various genres, such as authorial song, myth, and fairy tale.
The program featured poets representing different directions and styles of modern poetry.
Igor Karaulov, a Russian poet and translator, is known for his works that intertwine themes of time, memory, and public life. His writings exist on the border between poetry and journalism.
Dinara Kerimova, a poet-journalist and candidate of philological sciences, is recognized for her precise formulations and deep meanings. She is a laureate of international awards and presented her witty texts during the evening.
Natalya Nelyubimova, a poet and songwriter, amazed the audience with musical pieces that combine elements of folklore and contemporary sound.
Albert Zulkharnayev, the head of the Rossotrudnichestvo representative office in Kyrgyzstan, opened the event with a welcoming speech. He highlighted the importance of the meeting, where for the first time, the audience could not only familiarize themselves with the poets' works but also hear their live performances.
“Today we present significant contemporary authors, and this takes on special importance in the context of current global changes. The world is changing, and many forgotten themes are becoming relevant again. Our reality resembles not the end of the 20th century, but its beginning, full of changes and challenges,” he emphasized.
According to him, in such times, art plays an important role. Literature, poetry, and music help society make sense of what is happening and find answers to important questions. Kyrgyzstan has a rich cultural tradition, and now live poetry that reflects the spirit of the times is especially important.
The main part of the evening concluded with a question-and-answer session. The audience actively interacted with the poets, asking questions about their creative approaches and the themes raised in their works, creating an atmosphere of open dialogue.
