Yevgeny Rein was born in St. Petersburg
in 1935. He was educated in Moscow as a geologist, yet due to the complexities
of a normal career in the Soviet Union, he also worked as journalist and
author of children's books. He was a life-long friend of the 1987 Noble
Laureate Joseph Brodsky and on several occasions the latter poet referred
to Rein in print as "my teacher." As opposed to the metaphysical
spirals of Brodsky's verse, designed in studied ignorance of the Soviet
status quo, Rein's poems are gentler, prosaic narratives, designed
to describe rather than deconstruct quotidian existence.

urban values.
