Vladimir Burich

August 6, 1932 (age 62)

Shakhty, Russia, Russia

He lived in Moscow working as an editor of Molodaya Gvardiya publishing house. Burich"s poetry was occasionally published as early as 1961, but a certain degree of recognition came only in the 1980s and 90s with the appearance of the first collections of Russian vers libre "Beliy Kvadrat" (lit White Square), "Vremya Iks" (lit Time X) and later the Anthology of Russian vers libre. Burich was an ardent supporter of vers libre at a time when it was nearly nonexistent in the Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics. He translated modern Polish, Czechoslovakian and Serbian poetry into Russian. The poetry of Vladimir Burich is minimalist, precise and aphoristic, often with both social and philosophical overtones. I"m lying on my back and watching the ceiling with my ears full of tears.
