Abstract

The article analyses some features and variations of the use of various means of poetic language in the work of the Soviet uncensored poet Leonid Aronzon (1939–1970). Even despite the fact that most of his poems were written in accordance with all the norms of traditional syllabic-tonic versification, the author in his texts actively experiments with the use of certain means of language, exercises in the word and form creation, often creates new words and various sentences, devoid of a semantic layer, uses borrowings from foreign languages, ready-made quotations from other literary works, abusive or obscene vocabulary that is not recognized as the norm of the literary language, adapts phrases and other components of syntax to foreign or Russian forms. In some cases, he also experimented with visual poetry, non-standard graphic presentation of the text, trying to achieve, as far as possible, its ideal symmetry in writing. The examples of the use of certain means of poetic language considered in this article, their definition and systematization, allow the reader to better understand how the artistic world of the author works.
