Dmitry Bobyshev
Dmitry Vasilyevich Bobyshev (Script error: The function "langx" does not exist.; born 11 April 1936) is a Russian poet, translator and literary critic.[1][2][3]
Biography
Dmitry Bobyshev was born on 11 April 1936 in Mariupol.[4] From his childhood he lived in Leningrad. During the Siege of Leningrad, Bobyshev's father died, and after the war he was adopted by his stepfather. In 1959 he graduated from the Leningrad Institute of Technology. He worked for 10 years as an engineer for chemical equipment. Later, he became an editor on television.[5][according to whom?]
Bobyshev started to write poetry in the mid-1950s. His poems were published in samizdat (including Alexander Ginzburg's journal Syntax"). In the early 1960s, along with Joseph Brodsky, Anatoly Naiman, Yevgeny Rein, Bobyshev entered the inner circle of Anna Akhmatova.[citation needed] Bobyshev's first book of poems, Hiatus, was published in 1979 in Paris.
In 1979, Bobyshev emigrated to the United States, where he taught Russian language and literature. In 1983, he became a US citizen.[6] As of 2025, he is professor emeritus at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign.[7]
Writing
Bobyshev is the author of six books of poetry, a number of poetry translations (modern American poetry) and volumes of prose memoir, I am here (2003). Among the circle of Akhmatova, Bobyshev stands apart aesthetically. While, like Brodsky, he is rooted in a century and a half of Russian poetic tradition, Bobyshev chooses more radical manifestations of this tradition.[citation needed] The literary critic Barbara Heldt describes him as "the first Leningrad-Milwaukee poet", identifying him as transitioning from the poetic traditions of Imperial Russia to those of the American midwest.[1]
