"... Once I believed that you can’t
To live on earth without turning to heaven ... "
Boris Avsaragov
Childhood
On December 7, 1961, on the day of the great martyrs Catherine and Mercury, a boy was born in the medical center of the city of Sasovo, Ryazan Region, before reaching the hospital from the village of Berestyanki, the future poet Sergei Ilyich Nyrkov. His father, Ilya Ivanovich Nyrkov, and his ancestors were natives of these places, his mother, Maria Akimovna Kunitsa, was born in Ukraine. The poet spent his childhood in the same places, the village of Berestyanki and the city of Sasovo. After graduating from high school, in 1980 he entered the Mordovian State University. Ogareva N.P. at the Faculty of Philology, Department of Journalism. Unfortunately, it was not possible to find children's photos of the poet Sergei Nyrkov in open information.
The beginning of the way
The craving for reflection on paper of an experience appeared back in school. First attempts, first good luck. His children's works in 1976 were published in a regional newspaper. Already a student, he was published in newspapers and republican magazines of Mordovia. And even in 1984 he participated in the All-Union Conference of Young Writers of the USSR.
Publications
In 1988, the collection of works “Hospitable Land” published in Saransk also included the first book of poetry by the poet Sergei Nyrkov, “My forests cannot be burned away forever ...”. Its name is a line from the poem "Message", which was written by a young author, perhaps as a reminder of himself in the future, which can never be charred, "... and not blur the rains of my road ...". A true poet sometimes penetrates his inner gaze through time. And only then the meaning of the thought came to. “I didn’t sing, I just sang along. And, having closed my eyes, I was waiting for a melody ...” A reminder that if difficult times come, knocking down, one should not despair, because, everything that is expensive, everything inside, in the soul and "... the smells of lilacs ... and the quiet murmur of abandoned gardens ...", friend, teacher, parents, relatives, beloved, the land on which he was born and grew up will never disappear, while the thought is alive and unchanging. And evil does not know how to read thoughts, and therefore can not change them.
In 1994, already in Moscow, the second book of poems by the young author "Angry Angel" was published. Before the release of this book, an important event took place in the life of the poet, which greatly influenced his future life and work. In 1991, he met and became friends with Boris Avsaragov, then the head of the poetry department in the newspaper Literary Russia. The author’s friend and teacher, wise and kind, a wonderful poet and thinker, treated young poets as children. "Infant light embryos ... frightened birds. They had neither will nor prohibition. And I led to the attraction of light ..."
The first books of the poet Sergei Nyrkov were immediately noticed and caused a lot of positive feedback. The essayist Sheveleva Irina wrote about his work in his work “Poet from the Russian Night”, Anna Curranta and Konstantin in his novel “The Golden World of Glory”. Academician, historian and literary critic Kozhinov V.V., speaking well of the poet's work, recommended him to join the USSR Writers Union.
In 1997, Moscow published the third book of the author, entitled "Alone with Earth and Sky."
Return
The next book of the poet will be released 15 years later, in 2013, and he called it "Captive of the Alphabet." Creative destiny does not go parallel to a career, domestic achievements, undulating, with its amplitude. “It turned out that for many years I was outside the literary process. But now the time has come ...”, the author will write much later. A huge role in the return of the poet Sergei Nyrkov to creative activity was played by the poetess Natalia Laidinen.
Creation
One of the important tasks of the poet is to remind a person not to forget in his worldly bustle, in worries about daily bread about the most important thing - about love.
Perhaps we are not coming to this world alone. And the great mercy of God is the miracle of meeting and the joy of recognizing the soul, and then earthly life is not so difficult. The image, character, look, manner of conducting a conversation, similar fears, sorrows and joys, a feeling of complete peace and mutual dissolution, happiness and confidence, every soul remembers all this and seeks to find his love throughout his earthly life, sometimes making mistakes, but gaining experience that will allow to forgive and understand all the flaws, sins and shortcomings of a loved one. “I have knocked out every gesture of yours on the stone ...” In the comments on the poem “The Bride of Christ”, which the poet Sergey Nyrkov dedicated to Svetlana Evstratova, he writes: “It is impossible to deceive God. ... I tried to express this love, which would be enough for all living on this planet ... "
Getting acquainted with the works of the author, you can understand a little and character, and thoughts, and the poet’s life, hidden in the soul. Hovering between two worlds - past and present, with many questions, how to connect two lives, how to reconcile them in the soul, how to achieve peace and get used to it. "How to find the lost connection with the past and what is happening, ... get sick with bad weather and leaflessness and May rain to feed the foliage ...". "Why did you stay with each other with a cross and frankincense? At the temple of a sick country inflamed early .." And sometimes you hear despair "Whitish from shallow water, my river is not thin, like an empty bottle, I’ll bury my nose in the cobblestone ...". It seems that the poet sometimes loses faith in himself. But "... my forests will never be burned away ...".
And the author himself writes that everything will be fine. "Quiet light shines through the groves, sounds in the garden melt in the evening. When there is no meaning in the words, he reaches out to you ..."
