 [No title]
Voznesensky's interest in painting and architecture is seen in all his poetry, most explicitly in his choice of themes and images.
Voznesensky's use of words out of their normal context can be playful and ironical in a way which does not always please his critics.
The translation of Voznesensky's work presents the usual difficulties of interpreting the whole complex of cultural references, even of everyday sights and sounds, a knowledge of which the poet takes for granted in his native audience, but which are unfamiliar or at best exotic to an audience rooted in a different tradition.

Voznesensky has won a number of prizes and honors, among them the International Poetry Forum’s International Award for distinguished achievement in poetry, in 1978.
Despite his many honors, Voznesensky is controversial, earning both criticism and praise—primarily for his artistry, although the Soviet authorities sometimes objected to his political stands and even accused him more than once of being a CIA spy.
Additional information about Voznesensky, his works, his influence and the power of his readings can be found on the pages devoted to him on the Russian Pen Centre site: http://www.penrussia.org/n-z/an_voz.htm.

Voznesensky studied at the Moscow Architectural Institute and later became a close friend and protégé of Boris Pasternak.
Gradually his poetry appeared again, but his dramatic work, though not political in content, had to be withdrawn (1970) and he was placed under close surveillance in 1971.
Voznesensky's poetry is marked by brilliant use of language, fine craftsmanship, a wide range of subject matter, and a profound knowledge of the Russian poetic tradition.

Voznesensky's recitation of this poem was electrifying, but it may be that the element of performance bulked necessarily larger than the poem's emotional impact.
Voznesensky, and his contemporary Yevgeny Yevtushenko, are perhaps the first Russian poets to exploit this in the actual process of composition - to write poems specifically for performing, as pop songs are written for electronic transmission by singers and band.
Voznesensky showed one of Auden's translations of his poems to the Russian poet and novelist Kornei Chukovsky, who was himself an excellent translator, the latter remarked admiringly: ''One madman has understood another.'' Something of the same element of understanding was implied in a remark of Mr.

 Voznesensky, Andrei Criticism and Essays | WILLIAM PRATT
Andrei Voznesensky has been one of the brightest stars of the Russian literary firmament for the past fifteen years and has enjoyed wide popularity abroad as well during most of that time.
There is no American equivalent of Voznesensky, but if one imagined a blend of E. Cummings's verbal wit and Vachel Lindsay's platform drama, one might have a fair notion of Voznesensky's popular appeal.
At his best, Voznesensky can be brilliant in a calculatedly zany way, delighting in puns and ironic contrasts and commanding an international range of subjects, from the Paris Flea Market to the New York Airport, from Goya to Gogol.

 The New York Review of Books: ANDREI VOZNESENSKY
In her misguided zeal to present Voznesensky as an official figure, Feinstein commits two grave and damaging errors.
These errors are consistent with the whole of Feinstein's review which suffers from her manifest unfamiliarity with the Soviet literary scene and her gross underestimation of the place in Russian letters of this outstanding and brave poet.
It was not my intention to portray Voznesensky as a poet who compromises with the regime, but to question the usefulness of laying stress on his dissidence.

Stanford University Libraries has acquired a collection of papers, manuscripts, drawings, photographs and other materials from Russian poet and artist Andrei Voznesensky.
Voznesensky also chose Stanford as a repository because of the importance given to modern Russian poetry in the Slavic Department's program.

Voznesensky's tenth book reinforces his reputation as a major lyricist and enhances his role as the last of the international troubadours, a public man as recognizable on American campuses as he is on his own soil.
By all customary standards Voznesensky should be thoroughly corrupted by recognition and applause.
The best work is the least obtrusive: working with Voznesensky's supple and difficult lines, Max Hayward, Vera Dunham and William Jay Smith have given the Russian, both man and language, a new voice.

Through Auden, Voznesensky speaks to a wider audience and now he and other fine non-English speaking and writing poets need to be introduced to the world wide web.

 Voznesensky, Andrei Criticism and Essays | G. S. FRASER
Voznesensky [in his Selected Poems] is … fluent, light, gay, something of a virtuoso in fanciful surprises and daring juxtapositions, frivolous at times, almost rococo.
But swift, light and difficult formal intricacy is, unfortunately, the one quality in verse that is almost untranslatable—the "play" element, depending so much on the genius of the poet's native tongue.

Most of all it analyses the Beat impact beyond America in three prime names: Andrei Voznesensky as leading 1960s–1970s Russian dissident poet, Kazuko Shiraishi as longtime vintage Tokyoite jazz-and-poetry ‘bad girl’, and Michael Horovitz as British counter-culture voice.
