About the book: 2006 / Dmitry Bykov's book "The Last Time" includes poems, poems and ballads written over twenty years. In Bykov's poetry one can discern the features of his prose (novels “Justification”, “Spelling”, “Tow Truck”) and bright, expressive journalism. But, first of all, this is lyricism, which has absorbed both classical examples of great predecessors and its own innovations in the field of verse.
