“Prose by Vodenikov” is a collection of the best essays by Dmitry Vodenikov, a poet and essayist, host of the program “Poetic Minimum” on “Radio Russia,” and author of eight books of poetry (“Burdock,” Holiday, “Draft,” “Hello, I’ve come to say goodbye,” “Promise,” and others).
The essays were published at different times on sites “Gazeta.ru,” millionaire.ru, carnegie.ru, and in the magazines “Snob,” Story, “Russian Life.” Just like his poems, Vodenikov’s prose surprises with a rare combination of irony, lyricism, and piercing energy.
