The article examines three poems by V.A. Sosnora with the genre subtitle "lubok". One of them has become the subject of scientific research for the first time, since it remained unpublished before. The author's close interest in the folk art of lubok in the 1970s cannot be considered accidental, since this period is generally characterized by the frequent and heterogeneous appeal of V.A. Sosnora to folklore images and plots. Nevertheless, the lubok never draws author’s attention either before or after the period of writing the collection "Lost Farm", thus, the research task is to analyze the formal and substantive aspects of the poems "Everything as Always", "At the Gate", "Wolf" in the context of their correlation with the lubok. The analysis is based on the characteristics of a lubok, highlighted, in particular, by K.E. Korepova. The article investigates the points of contact between V.A. Sosnora's poems and lubok, as well as points of fundamental discrepancy. In each case, a conclusion is drawn about the reasons for the digression. As a result, the research confirms the hypothesis that for V.A. Sosnora lubok is not so much a historically established genre with a certain set of basic features, as a special optics that allows to expand the perception of reality.
