Abstract

The research material in the article is V. Sosnora's poetry collection "Flute and Prose", first published in 2000. Biographical, structural-descriptive, descriptive-functional, comparative-comparative, and formal methods are used in the analysis process. The article explores the transformation of the author's poetic language after a sixteen-year refusal to publish lyrical works. The conclusion is made about the significant influence exerted by the postmodern principle of text organization, which V. Sosnora refers to when writing prose works. The author analyzes the allusions and reminiscences addressed by the author in the collection "Flute and Prose". In addition to those already highlighted in previous literary works, among which the research article by L. Zubova occupies a central place, reminiscences from The Song of the Petrel by M. Gorky and the novel The Master and Margarita by M. Bulgakov are highlighted. In addition to the texts of the poems in the collection under study, archival recordings of V. Sosnora's diaries are used as an evidence base for the hypotheses put forward. The final poem of the collection "Flute and prose" "That night the nightingale does not wake me up ..." is analyzed separately. The conclusion is drawn about the specifics of the development of an eschatological theme both in this poem and in the entire collection. Most of the article is devoted to the analysis of the system of leitmotifs, cross-cutting themes and images that organize the individual poems of the collection into a single whole. The methods of connecting neighboring texts used by V. Sosnora are investigated. The hypothesis is put forward about the existence of a single semantic, figurative and motivic field, within which individual poems exist and are adequately understood not in isolation, but only as an integral part of the designated field.
