“Theoretically, the computers of the future will be able to do everything human does. Except for two things, they will not be religious and write poetry.”
Andrei Voznesensky

“This is life
--moving on from one burning lot
to another--we're all
on fire, you live--
you're on fire!”
Andrei Voznesensky

“strong>… I sleep with windows open wide;

Somewhere a falling star invites,
And skyscrapers,
                                 like stalactites,
Hang from the planet’s underside.
There, upside down
                                     below me far,
Stuck like a fork into the earth,
Or perching like a carefree moth,
My little Antiworld,
                                       there you are!

— Andrei Voznesensky, from “Antiworlds,” transl. Richard Wilbur from Wilbur’s New and Collected Poems (HBJ, 1988)
