Discover the poetic soul of one of Russia’s most provocative literary figures. Eduard Limonov—widely known as a novelist, social philosopher, and politician—began his creative journey as a poet. In fact, his seminal novel It’s Me, Eddie opens with the bold declaration: “I am a Russian poet.” Esteemed critics, including Alexander Zholkovsky and Joseph Brodsky, have praised his verse for its unique voice and raw power.
This first volume of a four‑set collection marks the first comprehensive attempt to gather Limonov’s poetic legacy. Beyond his officially published books, it includes uncensored samizdat collections, poems from manuscripts and typescripts, and findings from archival research begun during the writer’s lifetime and completed only now. Over two hundred pieces of short and long poetic forms appear here for the first time.
With more than 200 previously unpublished works, this collection offers readers a rare chance to explore unknown writings by an undeniable classic, long after his passing. Each poem is accompanied by full cultural commentary, providing context for Limonov’s singular contribution to national and world literature. This is an essential volume for anyone seeking to understand the full scope of Eduard Limonov’s artistry.
