Abstract
The article analyzes the ways of creating the image of the city in the poetry of V. Sosnora. The object of the study were the poems "The Legend of the city of Kitezh", "Krasnodar", "Pskov", "Leonid Martynov in Paris", "Goodbye, Paris", "Burned bridges and founded Rome", "Ten years later", "The Third Paris" and a number of others. The choice of material is due to the desire to analyze those texts of the author in which the image of the city is holistically captured, and not a certain, even significant, location. The article notes that for V. Sosnora there is no fundamental difference in the image of real and mythical cities. Based on the analysis of V. Sosnora's early poems, the hypothesis is expressed that the author's interest is focused not on the reconstructed description of the topography of the city, but on an attempt to capture its individual atmosphere based on the individuality of the inhabitants. In the future, this assumption is confirmed when referring to the texts written throughout the poet's creative career. It is noted that V. Sosnora creates not only images of Soviet cities, but also European ones, such as Rome, Prague. An important place in the poetic heritage of the author is occupied by poems in which there is an image of Paris, which is connected with the facts of the biography of V. Sosnora. In conclusion, it is suggested that the author does not seek to capture the appearance or features of the geographical location of cities, the images of which are found in his poems. In the poetic world of V. Sosnora, the most productive technique is to create an image of the city through the disclosure of images of people. This feature is associated with the general humanistic attitude of V. Sosnora's poetry.
