For understanding the creativity of any poet, it is important to know the overall culture context, tradition, vital and cultural relationship as well, especially the social environment, which directly and ideologically has an influence on poet and which is reflected in his activities with varying degrees of involvement. One could never understand the artist’s poetry without the knowledge about the time he lived within, about the condition of it’s time period, about the creative strategy. Twilight…
When it is not yet quite dark and when it is not so light – this time thoughts could haunt your mind. Twilight gain the dialogue with the creation – you are left alone with yourself, your neighbors go to sleep and nothing will prevent you from doing your job, nothing will distract you from the creation.
“Twilight” by Aleksey Spy – the collection of stories (each of them could be a separate story …) from the twilight, the stories, that could happen to every one of us. Some people are always there. Some people – occasionally. Some people are allured with them. Some people – turn it down. But anyway – we are all dealing with them – more or less.
