Александра Кушнера диалог с Пушкиным
Streszczenie
Alexander Kushner’s poetry is an endless and timeless dialogue with his predecessors. Alexander
Pushkin has a special place among them. Overt and covert references to the author of “Eugene
Onegin” are present at various levels of Kushner’s texts – in themes, images, ideas, as well as at the
level of formal organization: in language and metrics.
The present article deals with the modes of reception and interpretation of Pushkin’s lyrics in
the oeuvre of the contemporary poet from St. Petersburg. The analysis focuses on the varied forms of
Kushner’s intertextual dialogue with the Romantic poet (quotations, allusions, reminiscences, references
both of literary and biographical character). The sources and nature of reminiscences from Pushkin
are indicated, such as accepting dialogue, polemics, assimilation, rejection and partial redefinition.
