Publisher's Synopsis
The study is devoted to the poetry of the search for the Presence in Bella Akhmadulina's poetry of the 1980s-2000s. Turning to the unspeakable reality and making it an implicit plot of his works, Akhmadulina developed a genre that can be called ineffable realism. In Ahmadulina's poetry, ineffable realism grows from the facts of her biography, real dates and events, peering at her, she is trying to find a connection with the Presence. The method she uses, the method of cryptography, allows her to create a multi-level system in which the mystery is guessed in the ordinary and realistic. This method of the poet once formulated as follows: "I am alien to the claims and habits - / to touch the higher mysteries directly."
