Abstract

Lyric of Vera Zubarev is distinguished by attention to the semiosphere of a modern place of residence, for example, to the topography of New York, and at the same time to dialogue with the traditions of Russian literature. The choice of Broadway as an object of poetic reflection sets references to J. Brodsky at the subtext level. The text of the “Broadway” poem by Vera Zubarev correlates with the metamorphoses of the largest city of emigrants New York, this angle allows you to update the motives of the fate of the Roman exile poet Ovid and his kind of “heir” J. Brodsky. The Broadway plot exposes the trickster beginning and the spirit of transformations and metamorphosis in the poetic decision of Vera Zubarev. The city itself turns out to be theatrical stage during the metamorphoses that recreate the New York phantasmagoria. In the poem a poetic line is being implemented with installation on the experiment, combining the factors of the influence of the early Russian avant-garde and the legacy of I. Brodsky on the “Broadway text” by Vera Zubarev. The Broadway semiosphere is modified due to the manifestation of the author’s nostalgic discourse as an emigrant poet.
