Abstract

The article is devoted to the analysis of poetics in two poetry collections by Mikhail Gronas: “Dear Orphans” and “A Brief History of Attention”. Particular attention is paid to internal rhyme and repetition as poetic and meaning-forming units. The study is based on a linguapoetic analysis based on the structure of the text, rhythmic and intonational organization and principles of minimalism. Internal rhyme and repetition are considered as methods of semantic and rhythmic condensation, formation of visual and auditory perception of the text. The connection of the techniques with the poetic movement from collective existential utterance to the intonation of personal attention, contemplation and silence is revealed.
