You left out Barkov... quite a poet! :-) - Victor Khomenko 11:36:19 03/19/07 (5)
His highly pornographic poem Luka Mudischev has been widely quoted, but only saw official publishing recently.
Just teasing you, of course...

      is impressive!
      Sounds hilarious.
      My wife studied Russian in college but through lack of practice, she's a tad rusty.

      Thanks.

        Vershok is 1.75 inch... and if you were to take home one great word from that hilarious work, that would be the Russian word 'elda'. I am sure you can figure that one out :-)
