Why is Yesenin considered a great poet?

He didn't invent a new form, did he? Doesn't compare to Mayakovsky or Khlebnikov?

    1. Creating a standard of intimate lyrics, a kind of canon that can still be followed, although this standard has absorbed many influences from Pushkin to Blok. 2. The ability to be a poet in life, turn your life into a necessary accompaniment to poetry, and thereby create a new image of poetry. 3. A special “songiness” that returns to the folklore and ancient origins of lyrics in general.

  2. Precisely because you yourself compare him with Mayakovsky and Khlebnikov, and not with the” poet rhymer “from Ilf and Petrov's” 12 chairs”.

    Poetry is also poetry that has many faces like love and as for love there are no clear rules and it is impossible to “believe algebra”.

    “Poems are born as songs and as roses, as unnecessary beauty in the family, and to wreaths and apotheoses there is only one answer: where do I get this from?”- wrote M. Tsvetaeva, a contemporary of Yesenin.

    The era of great upheavals gave life and food for poetic inspiration to so many Russian poets that no school textbook on literature could contain. To reflect the poetic diversity of that era, the most rigorous selection was made. Yes, it is subjective, but where can I find an objective criterion for poetry, because then there was no Internet and ratings.

  3. Why is the Iphone considered a cool smartphone? Because they think so… those who like it)) Suddenly, right? For those who are not interested in the iPhone, it is not cool.

    I want to say that this is the subjective opinion of a certain number of people. If people who love Yesenin are respected and authoritative for you, then you should understand what the coolness of this poet is. If not, then don't bother.

  4. Aha, try to write the same number of volumes of “banality” so that you will be taught by heart in schools for another 200 years. I'll take a look at you how you can do it))) Mayakovsky and Khlebnikov are much weaker writers, we didn't even pass Khlebnikov in literature, not that we didn't learn by heart, and we were forced to learn Pushkin and Yesenin 10 verses each. And it was pretty easy, because they had a rhyme at least.
