Mikhail Aizenberg

Was born in Moscow in 1948, graduated as architect, is a poet and critic. His poems, diffused in the west through the samizdat, were published in Russia only in the late Eighties. Aizenberg’s poetry connects with the great Silver Age period, opposing the conceptualism and deconstructionism of much contemporary poetry, Russian or not.
