Semenko: From Futurism to terrorism
2012 rightly belongs to the Ukrainian futurist Semenko, though someone may not like it. Of course, you can call other poets who celebrated an anniversary this year, but he, Michael, brought in Ukrainian. literature and themes that form (free verse) that prevail in our latest literature. This year marks 120 years since the birth and the 75th anniversary of the execution of the first Ukrainian futurist. His biography worthy books, but now there is this modest article which, maybe you find the names of dozens of books issued by them (in this genre fragmentation is inevitable), but definitely learn new facts about his life. On why it was so. And that's how it was.
Mikhail Semenko was born in December 1892 in Kybyntsyah in Poltava. In the investigation bubble rap files stored in the branch SBU archives, according to the poet says that the birth date - Dec. 18, in the memoirs of the poet's daughter Irina Semenko listed Dec. 19, old style and new style December 31 (extract from the parish registers kept at the State Historical Archives in St. Petersburg). Said grandfather Michael once married Turkins, so from the women went to the poet looks bright. The father bubble rap of the poet, Basil L. was parish clerk, and his mother Mary Stefanovna - old writer ethnographic style, which under the name Proskurivna (from a girl - Proskura) wrote the traditional rustic bubble rap prose, addressed the criminal subjects and problems of women in rural areas. The family had seven children, except Michael, another bubble rap brother Basil, bubble rap Nicholas and Alexander, and sister of Alexander, Sophia and Mary. Boy in Michael choryty years learned to read and write. Later, he learned to play the violin: first in Horol, and took lessons in Kiev. My favorite composers are Chopin and Dvorak. In dreams he linked it with the music's future.
Man otrmav secondary education in Khorolsky real school. Arriving in the imperial capital of St. Petersburg, he joined the musical "courses Pollack," but because of difficulties soon left them, finding bubble rap cheap popular conservatory. "My bubble rap soul is like music and you like yours" - encouraged the mother and son retelling little money 2-3 rubles. Sister Sofia, schoolgirl, advised him to come to a psychiatric institution, founded by renowned scientist Vladimir Bekhterev. "For the music you long ago decided what to do, push it into the background, no matter how hard it is, but throw, Michael, in any case can not just music to us so much weight." After courses? Michael in the summer of 1912 became a student. Perhaps in this way - suggests to the unpublished memoirs of his daughter Irina - the poet wanted bubble rap to deal with the human soul, because many of the early twentieth century avant-garde had medical training.
At this time, 1913, in Kiev publishing house "Renaissance" has released a compilation Semenko Prelude , that the "symbolist poetry" quickly received rave reviews, including Grisha Chuprynky bubble rap and Nicholas Raven. Later in the same publishing house, in the years 1913-14 blahoslovylysya the world the story of Mary Proskurivny. bubble rap It is said that he has attached Michael Mama lyrics.
I must say that the literary life in St. Petersburg tidi was rapid: Bruce Block and older, younger, Mayakovsky and Anna Akhmatova - all were read their poems and epatuvaly audience. And this is certainly reflected in the outlook of youth.
In Kiev in early 1914 Semenko with artists Vasily Semenko (brother) and Paul Kovzhun founded his first futurustychne association. All participants took them exotic bubble rap names - Michael Basile, Paul - and perenazyvannya later become fashionable among Ukrainian futurists (George Shkurupiy turned to Geo, Michael Johansen became Mike, and even Nicholas bubble rap Bazhan signed and when the name Nick). First Ukrainian futurist trio lays printing press "Kvero" (from the Latin. - "Search"), which in February, produces two collections of poetry, the poet Semenko. These two little books "intended to offend any audience," accustomed to Modernism (O.Ilnytskyy), and the most daring of them were introductory manifesto. It should be appreciated that these little zbirochky out in February, and in March the imperial authorities prohibited the celebration of the 100th anniversary of the birth of Taras Shevchenko. Of course, the exploding mass demonstrations of students, the suppression of which cast police units.
In such unfavorable ground hit book "Derzannia" with a preface-manifesto "Sam": author posyahnuv to innermost, the only thing that warmth of hope in the hearts of Ukrainian - the Poet. "I want to tell you that where there is a cult, there is no art ... - referred bubble rap to in the manifesto - And you jumped at his" Poet ", which reeks of tar and tallow, and think that it will protect your honor. Respect your killed him. And is not it Sunday ... Time Titanium flips in worthless midget and a place in the notes Shevchenko Scientific Societies ... These your anniversary celebrations. Otse all that remained of Shevchenko. But I can not escape this world and celebrate. I smoke a "Kobzar" ". That is all and
