Самоопределение поэта: Евгений Клюев. «Анкета вместо предисловия» из книги «Зеленая земля»
The subject of the article is the poetics of self–determination of the lyrical hero Evgeny Klyuev. The object of research is the lyrical cycle "Questionnaire instead of preface", which makes up the first section of the book "Green Earth" (2008). The titles of the verses correspond to the initial points of the standard questionnaire: "Name, patronymic, surname", "Age", "Gender", "Nationality", "Marital status", "Education", "Occupation", "Religion". Choosing the form of a document as a poetic utterance, Klyuev subjects it to an ironic reinterpretation. As a result, both the document itself and the official discourse behind it are compromised. At the same time, the game strategy is not so much determined by the author as prompted by the language – the only instance whose authority the poet recognizes over himself.
