«Что делать нам с бессмертными стихам?». Николай Гумилев. К юбилею поэта

Nikolai Gumilev was a poet, warrior, traveler, and the organizer and inspirer of schools of poetic mastery (three "Poets' Workshops," the "Studio of the Living Word," and others). His students—Georgy Adamovich, Georgy Ivanov, Irina Odoevtseva, Nikolai Otsup, Vsevolod Rozhdestvensky, Nikolai Tikhonov, and others—became prominent creative individuals, writers, poets, and memoirists. The Acmeism he created, which attracted such major talents of the era as Anna Akhmatova and Osip Mandelstam, became a vibrant and unique creative method. Gumilev's influence on both émigré and Soviet poetry was significant, and his work continues to attract a wide range of people, including those who cherish the poetic word.
