Alexei Parshchikov
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Alexei Parshchikov (b. 1954) is a Russian poet, critic, and translator.
[edit] Overview
Born in Olga, Primorsky Krai, Russian SFSR, Parshchikov was raised in the Ukrainian SSR and attended the Kiev Academy of Agriculture. He spent two years as an agricultural scientist before entering the Moscow Institute of Literature.
In 1993, he received an MA from Stanford University [1]. He was once married to the art critic Olga Sviblova, who is currently director of the Moscow House of Photography [2].
Parshchikov is regarded as the major figure of the Meta-metaphorist movement [3] (a Russian poetic movement called by some critics "Meta-realism"[4]) which Parshchikov founded along with Ilya Kutik and Ivan Zhdanov. In the last two decades, his works have been translated into fifteen languages. His publications in English include Blue Vitriol, translated by Michael Palmer, Michael Molnar and John High and with an Introduction by Marjorie Perloff (Avec Books, 1994).
He currently resides in Cologne, Germany.
