Letters from Aldenderry by Philip Nikolayev
This is cosmopolitan one-man theater at its best. Words do not swallow the reader: they flow to a varied musical rhythm and make sense. Nikolayev's collection models a persuasive modern hero-an uprooted intellectual at home in diverse cultures who stares at the world through a unique pair of eyes.The electricity of Nikolayev’s poetic intelligence is such that, although with the distinctive mark of poetry that was written to please nobody but himself, everywhere his poetry seems to speak right out to the reader
