Despite the fact that the poems seem to some to be a relic of the past, they still remain relevant for a wide range of readers of different ages.

Modern poets of Russia

Poetry is the music of the heart. Our topic today is Russian contemporary poets, who win thousands of fans around the world who sincerely admire their work.

Among the modern poetesses known to everyone, today we have identified:

1. Ah Astakhov.
2. Solu Monova.
3. Alya Kudryashova.
4. Vera Polozkova.
5. Vera Pavlova.
6. Stefania Danilov.
7. Svetlana Lavrentiev.
8. Milena Wright.

Ah Astakhov

29-year-old Russian poetess Irina Astakhova, performing under the pseudonym Akh Astakhova, has been actively performing in various parts of the world for a long time - not only in Russia and Ukraine, where she is loved and expected in every city, but also in the Czech Republic, Italy, Georgia, Spain and other countries of the world. Irina's concerts are always filled with lively energy and sunny optimism. Her spontaneity and understandable style can reach anyone, and her wisdom and optimism teach each of us something new, bright and warm.

Irina, like many modern poetesses, writes from an early age, however, the poem "Do they even love you there?", Recorded on video and posted on YouTube, made her popular. Today, Irina systematically records more and more new videos on her poems with musical accompaniment:

I am the last of those who carry a lie under their hearts.

Who stabs in the back with a knife and amuses himself empty.

You don't love me. If you don't like it - so be it.

I am full of contempt to the brim, full of your contempt…"

Sola Monova

Sola Monova (Yulia Solomonova) is another talent from the "modern poetess" category. She was born in Volgograd, graduated from the Moscow Institute with a degree in director and now actively organizes poetry evenings. A happy mother of two children and wife of a famous designer, Sola remains true to her talent - she constantly pleases readers with her creativity. On her page you can find many new works that are constantly updated.

Sola has an incredible style - sharp, ironic, funny. Not only sensitive women, but also harsh men laugh and cry at her poems. And the humor of this woman, which helps her turn any pain into laughter, can only be envied! Sola has a variety of poems - lyrical, satirical and even obscene. There is a group on VKontakte dedicated only to Sola's obscene verses (and there are many of them).

Here are a few lines from her poem:

HorseI’ll stop at a gallop.

I am a strong woman. I love you.

You were unkempt, but now

I will take care of you…"

And we continue the theme of "modern poetess of Russia", the list of which continues Alya Khaitlina.

Alya Kudryashova

Alya Kudryashova (since 2015 - Khaitlina, by her mother's maiden name) is a St. Petersburg poetess, winner of numerous poetry competitions. The girl has a unique style both in clothes and in creativity.

Her work is a mixture of sharpness, a kind of surrealism and an echo of a subtle spiritual mood that easily falls on paper and folds into a rhyme. Poems may seem somewhat absurd, however, they are unique and certainly deserve respect. Many famous people, including Sasha Vasiliev, the soloist of the Spleen group, call the girl a truly talented poetess who knows how to clearly and accurately express her emotions in words, while finding an answer in the hearts of thousands of her readers:

I'm up to shooting stars

Don't stretch my arms.

I'm seven hundred miles awayTo my longing.

Vera Polozkova

Modern poetess Vera Polozkova is perhaps one of the first to become wildly popular among Internet users. She has been writing since the age of 5. Each verse of this girl is saturated with a whole bunch of feelings - a lot of conflicting emotions, in which the aromas of spiritual wisdom, optimism, sadness, harshness are mixed. Poems, even if you don't take them to heart the first time,they will still find a path to your heart and firmly settle in it. You want to read them over and over again, looking for a new meaning.

Recently, Vera became the mother of a wonderful baby, which, as she admits, significantly influenced her creativity and self-expression. Despite some harshness in her works, Polozkova knows how to write with optimism and motivation, which, you see, is very important for a poetess whose works are read by millions of people from different countries.

Vera Pavlova

Vera Pavlova can also be safely classified as a "modern poetess". Vera was born in Moscow in 1963. Has two daughters and is married to literary translator Stephen Seymour.

A woman with outstanding talents, Vera Pavlova has been engaged in musical creativity for a long time - she composed music, sang. Only at the age of 20, with the birth of her first daughter Natalia, inspiration pushed her onto a new creative path. The first verse was born suddenly, and since then her work has grown many times, shone with new facets. Each of her verses is filled with feelings familiar to each of us, but at the same time distorted by the unique perception of the author. Unique texts cannot be repeated - only Vera Pavlova can write like that.

18 books of Vera were published in Russia and translated into dozens of world languages:

I climb out of my skin to touch your skin.

Do not look like faces, we are similar in skin -

we smell the impossibility with our skin:frost on the skin and heat, heatsubcutaneous…"

Stefania Danilova

Stefania Danilova (or simply Steph) is a very young contemporary Russian poetess who already has crowds of fans who dedicate poems, music and storm her concerts to her. The girl is really incredibly talented - and, most importantly, in her work there is depth and wisdom, understanding and acceptance of the world. That is exactly what we sometimes miss. Steph has already won numerous prestigious literary competitions and has published eight books, one of which is "1teen" just released.

Stefania was born in Syktyvkar, but almost immediately moved to St. Petersburg. She wrote her first poem when she was almost 4 years old. Today Steph is popular not only in the countries of the former USSR, but also abroad. Organized more than 70 concert programs.

I'm getting tired of creating whiteness from soot.

I'm getting tired of going to hell and hell.

I'm wasting my sight on meaningless landscapes

and there's not a letter in them I won’t read it.

Not one of the roads under my feet, alas, will say that I’m choosing the wrong one…"

Svetlana Lavrentieva (cat Basho)

Svetlana Lavrentyeva, acting under the pseudonym Cat Basho, is a talented woman who writes so accurately and piercingly that it is simply impossible not to admire. Her allegories are amazing and unique - they make one admire not only the meaning, but also the interesting style of her creations. Sveta knows how to accurately and accurately select comparisons and interestingly rhymes her works.

Basho the cat is a philologist by profession. Svetlana lives and works inKrasnodar, has a son Artem. She claims that life is her main passion. He is the head of the advertising and production company "Clouds". To date, Sveta has given many concerts attended by hundreds of people who admire her work. Her main zest is writing poetry in prose.

The work of Svetlana Lavrentieva is an example of subtle and insightful poetry. Many poems by modern poetesses are written in a more strict and harsh form. Sveta turns her creations into the perfect combination of meaning and interesting rhyme.

Milena Wright

Milena is more of a public figure than a poet, however, she can also be safely included in the list of "modern poets". Most often, she writes quatrains, accurately and briefly expressing her feelings and emotions. Like all poets, she writes mainly about love. Milena lives and works in St. Petersburg - an amazing city for amazing people.

Almost nothing is known about her life - the girl skillfully avoids any questions about herself and her past. By agreeing to an interview, she avoids many questions, but considers the question of love to be the most tactless. And it doesn't matter what it used to be. In the present, she is a talented poetess and organizer of the literary community of St. Petersburg. Many young poets take part in the meetings of writers that Milena arranges, exchanging their creativity and ideas.

I'll wait for you until winter.

Until the February frost.

I won't tell anyone that you–

My memory, My world, My air.
