Very rare first edition, the only chapter to be published of Briusov’s ‘short course in the study of poetry’.

‘Bryusov’s contributions to Russian literature were many and profound in his roles as poet, novelist, short story writer, essayist, literary historian, translator, polemicist, organizer, and teacher of poets greater than himself, such as Bely and Blok … Bryusov had an abiding concern for the image of the poet and it was because of this concern that he successfully expended so much energy in raising the stature of modern poetry in Russia to the position he felt it deserved’ (Terras).

Only a photocopy and a microfilm listed on OCLC. Not in Kilgour.

KUSIKOV, Aleksandr Borisovich, pseud. [Boris KUSIKIAN].

Koevangelieran [Ko-gospel-ran].

First edition. It is difficult to piece together a cohesive picture of Aleksandr Kusikov. His romanticized self-image was one of a wild mountain-dweller, and the Circassian trappings with which he surrounded himself (he was born in 1896 in Armavir to a large Armenian family called Kusikian) were clearly evident in his poetry, his letters, and his style of dress. This collection of verse was written when Kusikov was working with Shershenevich and Esenin, a prolific time for the young poet. Only a few years later his verse style changed, the once graphic clarity faded, the Eastern flavour soured and dried up. By the beginning of the ’30s he had broken with literature altogether; he died in Paris in 1977.
