Evgenii Bunimovich (born 1954) poet, teacher,
writer, and politician, began his career as a teacher
of mathematics in 1976. He started writing poetry
in the 1970s.. In 1981 he founded the Moscow
club of independent Poets, which was shut down
by the Communist Party. In 1999 he organized the
international Festival of Poets in Moscow. In his poetry
Bunimovich observes his everyday surroundings in
a mathematical fashion in order to reflect on himself
and on Russia. For this collection of verses, Goppe
designed 7 colour lithographs of which some are
provided with mounted vintage photographs.
