Yan Satunovsky Translated from the Russian by Alex Cigale Everyone thinks the same thing.
Yan Satunovsky (1913-1982) was one of the key contributors of the Lianozovo School which employed vernacular Russian as the language of its poetry. Like many of the "unofficial" poets of his generation, Satunovsky took shelter in producing some twenty books of children's verse. Five of his "Children's Rhymes" where set to music by Sophia Gubaidulina, the renowned Tatar-Russian avant-garde composer. Satunovsky passed away without publishing his serious poetry but having collected it in a typescript, Chopped Prose, of which he made seven copies. More poems from Chopped Prose can be found online in Samizdat Veka (Minsk-Moscow: Polifact, 1997.)
