The poems by Robert Rozhdestvensky are distinguished by unexpected, fresh and memorable rhymes, special sonority and ardent sincerity. His main character had always been a thinking and sensitive person – a deeply caring person. And this fire of genuine interest in the world, creative courage and faith in the best still burns brightly and purely in his poetry.
