Very little is known about the biography of the poet Yuri Yegorov, but some information is available.
Short biography of Yuri Egorov
The poet Yuri Egorov was born May 26, 1962 in the suburbs. The poet received higher education at the Moscow Regional Pedagogical Institute named after N.K. Krupskaya. After graduating from the history department of this university, Yuri Egorov spent most of his life teaching. In 2010, he worked in an elected position in municipal authorities.
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.
Artworks for the soul
A very strange fact is that the verses of the Storyteller (the author's pseudonym) did not receive due attention. Despite the fact that we often encounter his works on the Internet, Yuri Egorov was not very 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 mundane words in the content”. But there is also a grain of untruth: in his works the poet uses various poetic types of rhymes - you can find cross, and adjacent, both 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 precisely in simplicity.
Poems of the poet Yuri Egorov are filled with feeling; they are able to tell about the poet much more than anything else. His works are saturated with 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 lyric poems, the main theme of which was the unbearable longing for a woman, the works immerse the reader in a pleasant melancholy, in sadness, which is characterized by a smile.
Many beautiful words about love
One can talk a lot about his poems for a long time, it would be more expedient to simply give as an example several of the most famous Egorov works. The poems of Yuri Egorov are dedicated to one woman, whose works are filled with tenderness and trepidation:
Behind your window -
Blizzard
Snow flakes all night
To fly,
You lie and heat
Bed,
And easy in the dark
Dream.
If for a poet spring is a time of wonderful feelings that are able to inspire and take off from the earth, then autumn is a time of longing and feelings. Like other authors, the poet Yuri Egorov wrote about his feelings, about his love. He was able to compare his inner state with nature, which is changing, as well as his mood in difficult times.
Why are you crying, light autumn,
Now rain sobbing, then foliage?
His poems are permeated with sadness, a tender feeling, the reciprocity of which is so necessary for man. Despite this, the lines do not drive into deep depression, but rather make you think about such a high feeling as love.
His poems are very popular, but few people know who the author of these beautiful words is ...
... Let's fool you forever?
Let yourself fall in love with me ...
How sensual and soulful his words are! They make their way to the heart and touch the soul!
Amazing features of the poet's lyrics
Acquainted with the work of Yuri Egorov, you can draw some conclusions about the character of a talented person and even notice a paradox: despite all his mental torment, he was able to perceive himself as something great. Delving into the meaning of his love lyrics, one 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.
In some of his works, he strove to call himself a fool, unable to preserve, keep his happiness elementary, while in others he wrote of himself as a person who will remain in people's memory, will be known now, and after many, many years. And he really was right - his poems are magnificent, and those who got acquainted with the work of the author will not remain indifferent to the syllable that is present in all the works, and the meaning that the poet Yuri Egorov puts in every single word.
... I’ll find myself in a hundred years
A book in someone’s small apartment.
Other poems by Yegorov: magic in every line
But in addition to love lyrics, Yuri Pavlovich 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, which causes painful nostalgia for the past, incredible longing for comfort. He wrote:
The air is starched in frost
The snow sparkles and creaks
And in the silence of the cozy bedrooms
Your city is sleeping.
Large snow flakes immediately appear in the imagination outside the window, the warmth of the hearth, burning fire in the fireplace, the presence of a loved one nearby and a brightly dressed Christmas tree. Yury Egorov romantically creates such a New Year’s atmosphere with its unusual metaphors, personifications and epithets.
Storyteller: verses that can bewitch
Egorov worked under the pseudonym "Tale-teller-nickname." And in fact, such a nickname appeared because all his poems are like a fairy tale - they affect the soul so much that often when you read his works goosebumps run through the body. The most amazing thing in his work is how Yuri Egorov was able to describe the feelings of heroes in his poems. To feel warm sadness and cozy joy at the same time - is this possible?

It is worth noting the fact that many of Yuri’s most beautiful works are put to music. The lines of his works inspire hope in every reader, and to this day they become an inspiration for writers, artists and composers.
Beautiful "tales" of love
One of his most touching works is The 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 she was put to the music of Vladimir Buslaev:
And on Earth it was winter, the crystal forest rang ...
With a sad smile by the window, a tired sorcerer
He smoked and composed fairy tales about little princesses,
And these tales (sometimes) came true in people.
But in addition to “Tales for Two”, Yegorov’s repertoire also included many other spiritual poems. In another "fairy tale" he wrote:
Soul of my violinist, the last note is the phrase
Touch me with a bow like a knife blade.
