The secret of good “bad writing”
Conversation with philologist Mikhail Pavlovets about the late poems of Vasilisk Gnedov Basilisk Gnedov is one of the key figures of Russian futurism, the author of the famous “Poem of the End”, which, due to the lack of words in it, apart from the title, was performed using “rhythm gesture”. After it, the poet fell silent for almost 20 years, and when he spoke again, his poems, with their radical negligence, began to suspiciously resemble graphomaniac verses.
