Lev Rubinstein
Laureate of the prestigious Andrei Bely Prize (1 rouble and a bottle of vodka), Rubinstein is an accomplished poet with a sharp eye for unusual detail. His innovative use of “found poetry” and “poems on catalogue cards” were refreshing and unique in the surge of “new literature” after the fall of Communism. He is also a keen essayist; his recent book of collected essays, “Spirits of Time”, has earned well-deserved praise from critics and readers alike.
