Extremely little is known about the biography of the poet Yuri Yegorov, but some information is available.

Short biography of Yuri Egorov

Poet Yuri Yegorov was born on May 26, 1962 in the Moscow region. The poet received his higher education at the Moscow Regional Pedagogical Institute named after N. K. Krupskaya. After graduating from the Faculty of History of this university, Yuri Egorov spent most of his life teaching. In 2010, he worked in an elective position in city governments.

Yuri's poetic activity begins in 2008, after which in 2012 the poet suddenly disappears, and new works are not published. In addition, along with the disappearance of the author, all information about the poet and his poems simply disappear from the Internet.

Artwork for the soul

It is a very strange fact that the poems of the Storyteller (the pseudonym of the author) did not receive due attention. Despite the fact that we often come across his works on the Internet, Yuri Egorov was not particularly popular, although fans of his work, of course, exist.

Reading reviews of his poems, one can often see negative opinions in which the phrases sparkle: “stupid rhythm of the work”, “monosyllabic rhymes”, “too ordinary words in content”. But there is also a share of untruth here: in his works the poet uses various poetic types of rhymes - you can find both cross, and adjacent, and external, and internal.

However, this is the beauty of Yegorov's poems: due to their simplicity, they are accessible to everyone. Indeed, in order to create beauty, it is not necessary to create a complex pattern. Beauty lies in simplicity.

The poems of the poet Yuri Yegorov are filled with feeling; they are able to tell about the poet much more than anything else. His works are full of metaphors, personifications, epithets, comparisons. The author himself seems to be in prostration, in a parallel universe, where everything is beautiful with its romance and brightness of colors. Despite the fact that the poet's work contains many lyrical poems, the main theme of which was an unbearable longing for a woman, the works plunge the reader into a pleasant melancholy, into sadness, which is characteristic of a smile.

Lots of beautiful words about love

One can talk a lot and for a long time about his poems, it would be more expedient to simply give as an example some of the most famous Egorov's works. Poems by Yuri Egorov are dedicated to one woman, the works about which are filled with tenderness and reverence:

Behind your window -

Snowstorm, Snow flakes all overnight

Fly, You lie and it's warm

Bed, And it's easy in the darkDream.

If for a poet spring is a time of wonderful feelings that can inspire and lift one from the earth, then autumn is a time of longing and worries. Just like other authors, the poet Yuri Yegorov wrote about his feelings, about his love. He was able to compare his inner state with nature, which changes like his mood in difficult times.

Why are you crying, autumn is bright, Sobbing with rain, then foliage?

His poems are permeated with sadness, a tender feeling, the reciprocity of which is so necessary for a person. Despite this, the lines do not drive you into a deep depression, but on the contrary, make you think about such a high feeling as love.

His poems are surprisingly popular, but few people know who the author of these beautiful words is…

…Let's fool eternity with you?

Let yourself fall in love with me…

How sensual and soulful his words are! They reach into the heart and touch the soul!

Amazing features of the poet's lyrics

Having become acquainted with the work of Yuri Egorov, one can draw some conclusions about the character of a talented person and even notice a certain paradox: despite all his mental anguish, he was able to perceive himself as something great. Delving into the meaning of his love lyrics, you can see how low his opinion of himself was. Therefore, it seems strange how Egorov was able to write about himself as about someone significant.

BIn some of his works, he strove to call himself a fool, unable to simply preserve, keep his happiness, while in others he wrote about himself as a person who will remain in the memory of people, will be known now and after many, many years. And he was really right - his poems are magnificent, and those who got acquainted with the author's work will not remain indifferent to the style that is present in all works, and the meaning that the poet Yuri Egorov puts into every single word.

… I'll be found in a hundred yearsA book in someone's small apartment.

Egorov's other poems: magic in every line

But in addition to love lyrics, Yuri Pavlovich also composed poems that could recreate a special mood. The lines that he wrote on New Year's Eve immerse the reader in that winter mood that causes painful nostalgia for the past, an incredible longing for comfort. He wrote:

The air is starched with frost, The snow sparkles and creaks, And in the silence of cozy bedroomsYour city sleeps.

In the imagination immediately appear large snow flakes outside the window, the warmth of a hearth, a scorching fire in the fireplace, the presence of a loved one nearby and a decorated bright Christmas tree. Yury Yegorov romantically creates such a pre-New Year's atmosphere with his unusual metaphors, personifications and epithets.

The Storyteller: Poems That Captivate

Egorov worked under the pseudonym "Skazoch-nick". Andin fact, such a nickname appeared because all his poems are like a fairy tale - they touch the soul so much that goosebumps often run through the body when reading his works. The most amazing thing in his work is how Yuri Yegorov was able to describe the feelings of the characters in his poems. To feel both warm sadness and cozy joy at the same time - is this possible? Perhaps it is enough just to read the fabulous, magical poems of Yegorov.

It is worth noting the fact that many of Yuri's most beautiful works have been set to music. The lines of his creations inspire hope in every reader, and to this day they become an inspiration for writers, artists and composers.

Beautiful "fairy tales" about love

One of his most touching works is "A Tale for Two". Subtlety in the perception of the world, a special longing for a loved one - Yuri managed to convey all this in the lines of "Tales for Two", which was written in collaboration with the poetess Ksenia Arkhipova, and after a while set to the music of Vladimir Buslaev:

And it was winter on Earth, the crystal forest rang…

With a sad smile at the window, a tired sorcerer

Smoked, and composed fairy tales about little princesses, And these fairy tales (sometimes) came true with people.

But besides "Tales for Two" Egorov's repertoire included many other soulful poems. In another of his "fairy tales" he wrote:

The soul of my violinist, the last note - the phrase

Touch me with the bow like a knife blade.

General conclusion about the work of Yuri Egorov

Yuri Egorov, whose poems touch the most hidden strings of the human soul, has become a real poet, despite the fact that he has not received such wide popularity as his colleagues in writing. However, even now, reading Yegorov, people can call him a really bright writer, whose poems are remembered, create a special atmosphere, which, alas, not every author manages to recreate. Even today such "misunderstood" and "misunderstood" modern poets in literature are gaining popularity.

His work inspires hope and faith in those who have long been disappointed in life and do not believe in a happy ending. That bright impression that remains after reading the poems of Yuri Egorov brings peace and tranquility to each reader in moments of mental imbalance. His works are really capable of changing the way you look at things, so that all hardships and failures will not be perceived with the same fury and despair. Yuri Yegorov deserved recognition and respect, which, alas, he did not receive for a long time.
