QUOTATIONS
-------------------
''A samizdat poet who had to put up with a good deal of abuse
during the Communist period and who has only been able to publish
openly in recent years. In his ''poetics of silence'' the words count
as much for the silence they make possible as for what they say
themselves''
LEONARD SCHWARTZ,
Poetry Project Newsletter
''A poet who gives voice to Russian silence''
