A scarecrow sat on a pipe: in the art space mArs they will talk about the unknown facets of the work of the famous children’s poet

In the St. Petersburg art space mArs (Marsovo Pole, 3) on Sunday, January 29, a regular meeting of the Youth Creative Club will take place. The start is at 16:00.

“A scarecrow-meowel was sitting on a pipe …” Probably, there is no person who would not know this line and the name of its author: the wonderful children’s poet Mikhail Yasnov. However, to a lesser extent, he is known as an original poet and translator. At the meeting, we will also talk about these facets of his work. A recently published book by Mikhail Yasnov from the series “Luminaries of Literary Translation. Petersburg School” will be presented by its compiler, Member of the Union of Writers of St. Petersburg V. Andreev. Yasnov’s poems and translations will be performed. Director I. Batuyeva will tell about the children’s library of foreign literature named after him.

The second part of the meeting, “A Romance in Letters”, will take the audience back to more ancient times. Amateur artists E. Vesnin, E. Ekimova, N. Rozen, N. Titovets will present an excerpt from the poetic composition “Kindred souls, flying high above life, peace and death …” based on poems and correspondence of 1926 by Marina Tsvetaeva, Boris Pasternak and an Austrian poet Rainer Maria Rilke.

And, of course, as always – a traditional literary quiz, which will be held by club member S. Ostrovskaya. Also, everyone who wants to read their poems is waiting for an open microphone.

The host of the meeting is O. Evstigneeva.

Tickets for the event can be purchased on TimePad or at the box office before the event.
