A poetic meeting with Leonid Ilyasovich Amirhanov turns into a lively conversation about where music hides in poetry and why theory does not guarantee genius. Guests will be able to look at familiar classics in a new way, listen to the author's reading, and together figure out what makes a text truly alive. Sometimes it seems that poetry exists separately from everyday life: in textbooks, quotes, and rare collections on the shelf. At this meeting, the conversation returns poetry to the lively field of dialogue - with the biographies of authors, with music, with the personal experiences of listeners. The conversation with Leonid Ilyasovich Amirhanov revolves around several sharp questions. Why do some poets create lines that are remembered for years, even though they do not rely on complex theories of verse, while others know the textbooks well but remain in the shadows? How can rhyme support the movement of the text or, conversely, make it heavy and predictable? What changes when we hear a work in the author's performance and how does the voice affect the meaning of what is written? The starting point is the names familiar to readers of Russian literature: Nikolai Gumilev, Osip Mandelstam, Arseny Tarkovsky. Their lines are read aloud and analyzed for rhythm, imagery, and intonations. Thus, a chain of associations is built: from the musicality of individual words to how the poet works with pauses and echoes of motifs. A separate line of conversation concerns the connection between poetry and music. Using well-known quotes, the discussion addresses why attempts to break down harmony into parts and reduce it to a set of rules do not yield the expected effect and what is lost when a living feeling is replaced by a scheme. Leonid Ilyasovich appears both as a writer and as the head of a publishing house, who cares about how the modern reader encounters the text. His questions are directed at the audience: what exactly touches in a poem, which lines resonate, where does the feeling of authenticity arise. Thus, a trusting conversation is formed, in which one can argue and recall their own reading experiences. The poster for St. Petersburg is available on KudaGo.
