The poet Alexander Popovsky is one of the most interesting poets of our time, who is not shy about telling the truth about what really excites the mind of today's Russian man. In order to “burn with the verb the hearts of people”, you don’t need to live in an industrial city that smelled of smog. That's exactly what Popovsky believes.
Who is Alexander Popovsky?
Russian poet Alexander Popovsky was born in 1962 in one of the small villages of Kazakhstan - Astrakhanovka. Over his long life, he managed to change almost a dozen professions - metrologist, electrician, physical education teacher, PR manager. But all this does not bring him such satisfaction as writing poetry. As of 2015, he is the author of several books and poetry collections.
So far, the poet is published only in Russia, but foreign literary scholars are interested in his work, considering him one of the most modern in modern Russian literature. Meanwhile, Alexander lives in Pervomaisky village, located in the outback of the Chelyabinsk region, and does not think about fame. A member of the Union of Writers of Russia does not even think of changing the usual way of life, considering it the only true one.
The biography of the poet
If we talk about the bright stars in the literature of the last decade, then we will certainly talk about such a phenomenon as Alexander Popovsky. The poet, whose biography is quite small, meanwhile has a number of useful life skills. Ordinary childhood, college, army, after which work in a variety of industries only tempered his character.
As of 2015, the poet Alexander Popovsky is working as a physical education teacher in a regular school. Everyone around him knows about his unusual hobby and they support him in every possible way. As the poet himself admits, his wife even sacrificed her own vacation in order to help him publish his debut collection. Now, when new publications are published in newspapers and magazines, the writer's household is proud of him and set an example to his friends.
Original perception of the world
The poet Alexander Popovsky, whose interesting facts from the life of few people, prefers to live outside the noisy and dusty cities. However, this does not prevent him from creating talented works. The writer admits that he constantly communicates via the Internet with his colleagues and gains experience from them. The province allows him to create in a comfortable environment and individual rhythm, without forcing to adapt to the city noise.
According to Alexander, one should not try to “squeeze” verses out of oneself - one should try to catch inspiration. He himself admits that before writing a new text, he has an inner feeling when it seems that something is about to happen. Alexander claims that after writing the verses he gives them some time to rest, after which he puts them in order, and only then decides whether it makes sense to tell the world about him or not.
Conclusion
The poet Alexander Popovsky is actively published in newspapers and magazines. In 2015, he released a new collection, which was called "A step away from the gates of paradise." Popovsky admits that he had to search long enough for the publication of his own book, since few people are interested in poetry. But despite all this, Alexander’s new book became one of the three best publications of August according to the Poetograd version.
Petrovsky is now a member of the Union of Writers of Russia and the Union of Writers of the 21st Century, in each of them he sees his pluses. In particular, the first makes it possible to print in Russia, and the second also abroad. Alexander does not plan to leave the country - he likes to spend time in the village, in the fresh air.
