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

Koevangelieran [Ko-gospel-ran].

First edition. It is difficult to piece together a cohesive picture of Aleksandr Kusikov.

This collection of verse was written when Kusikov was working with Shershenevich and Esenin, a prolific time for the young poet.
