In November 2019, 30 famous poets from various countries will be in Hong Kong and ten cities in China afterwards to read their works based on the theme Speech and Silence. Maxim Amelin (Russia) is a poet, scholar of poetry, essayist, translator and publisher.
The poems offer a profound exploration of spirituality and existence, presenting a raw connection to God devoid of comfort. They delve into historical themes that lack definitive meaning, weaving irony into their fabric yet remaining free from bitterness. Amelin's work resonates deeply, providing essential reflections for moments of need while stripping away excess, making each poem a poignant experience.
