Alexander Kushner: Two “Visits”

The article considers and compares two poems by A. S. Kushner with a common name – “Visit” (1977 and 1985). They are united by the situation of the lyrical hero returning to the places where he spent his childhood and youth. However, the author’s position is deprived of the nostalgic regret about the past years that is expected in such cases – in particular, due to the mismatch of memories with the real world of the past.

“Poetry is an Art Incurably Semantic...”

The monograph under review deals with the issue of the typology of lyrical texts. The researcher focuses on the category of the lyrical plot. The author combines the linguo-poetic approach to text analysis and the advantageous ideas of conceptology, linguosynergy, discourse studies, which renders the research an interdisciplinary character.
