Summary/Abstract
SummarySome irresistibly praise him, others almost deny him, and still others with distrust refrain. Many of the reasons for such a contradictory attitude are contained in the poetry of Lyubomir Levchev himself. Here, in front of me is the first collection of poems by the Young Poet - "The Stars are Mine". "The Stars are Mine", "Strength", for honor. and Glory", Song for Garcia Lorca", "October Poems", Song for Me" - these are the cons. I list these few titles, and objections arise in me. I immediately want to make reservations. And in other poems such inexperience is evident! The young poet's power over words is still weak! Some places in his book are simply clumsy prose. The truly original is just intertwined with his capricious attempts to walk with his feet up. This is how it is, and it irritates. And the one who does not look deeply into the appearance of the poet's Lyrical Hero, who does not listen carefully to his voice, so often drowned out by unnecessary noises, will still be left with irritation. Lyubomir Levchev's book has a more complex characteristic than it might seem at first glance. There are many shortcomings, but what is good in his poems is especially good, symptomatically good, if I may put it that way - promisingly good. The second collection of poems - "Forever" even more categorically confirmed the impression of an original, interesting voice in our young poetry. It also confirmed the impression of some, already becoming organic weaknesses in Levchev's work. Let's start from the beginning. We read the program poem "The Stars Are Mine". Our hearing is still unaccustomed to these Audacity. What an insistent admonition that the stars were his! We involuntarily want to calm the irrepressible poetic cosmonaut. More modestly, young man!
