Semyon Kirsanov is my grandfather. My father passed away when I was young and I dont know much about him or my grandfather. I dont speak Russian so I dont understand what the poems say... any more information would be greatly appreciated. Thank you for sharing

Hello Anastasia! The Russian version of Wikipedia has a detailed article about your grandfather. Surely you will be able to translate it not only with the help of Google machine translation. ru.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D0%9A%D0%B8%D1%80%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%BD%D0%BE%D0%B2,_%D0%A1%D0%B5%D0%BC%D1%91%D0%BD_%D0%98%D1%81%D0%B0%D0%B0%D0%BA%D0%BE%D0%B2%D0%B8%D1%87 Unfortunately, the English version of this article is only a few lines long. In fact, your grandfather's poetry is one of the most outstanding phenomena of Russian poetry of the 20th century. His poems attract the attention of many composers, and some of them were created especially in the 70s, wonderful songs and compositions. What I managed to do in this vocal cycle was my old dream, towards the realization of which I went from my youth.
