Denis Gennadyevich Novikov (Денис Геннадиевич Новиков; April 14, 1967 – December 31, 2004) was a prominent Russian poet and writer. He is recognized for his lyrical and innovative poetry, which significantly influenced contemporary Russian literature.
Early Life and Education
Novikov was born in Moscow and spent much of his life in Russia. He studied at the Maxim Gorky Literature Institute. He was a member of the "Almanac" group in the 1990s, which included notable poets such as Sergey Gandlevsky and Dmitry Prigov. He worked as a poetry editor of Ogoniok magazine and was a member of Union of Russian Writers.
Career
Novikov published four volumes of poetry during his lifetime, gaining critical acclaim for his distinctive lyrical intonations. His second collection, Window in Janury (Окно в январе, 1995) included an afterword by Nobel laureate Joseph Brodsky, which praised Novikov's literary depth. His major works include Виза (The Visa) and Река – Облака (River-Clouds), the latter being a comprehensive anthology of his poetry, released posthumously in 2019.
Novikov's poetry has been translated into English.[1]
Legacy
From 1991 to 1995, Denis Novikov lived in the United Kingdom. In recent years, he had a sharp break from the literary community and published very little. In 2004, he emigrated to Israel.
He died on December 31, 2004, at the age of 37 from a heart attack. He is buried in an alternative cemetery in the city of Beersheba.
