Try to write more lucidly.
Never heard about the poet but got interested after your posting.
Read this and refer to the links below.
In a whimsical but nonetheless pointed peroration, famed Cossack Novelist Mikhail (And Quiet Flows the Don) Sholokhov wryly contrasted the obscure existence led by talented young poets in the provinces with the "triumphs of our currently fashionable boudoir poets." Neatly exploiting peasant resentment of city slickers, Sholokhov blamed the "backwardness" of Red letters on the fact that the great majority of writers live in big cities, thus have "only superficial knowledge of quickly flowing and changing reality." In their "impossibly narrow trousers and absurdly broad-shouldered jackets," he scoffed, they are interested only in showing off to "the hysterical squeals of beatnik chicks."† He added that such poets would, in any case, be useless on the farm since they would soon be "nostalgic for warm toilets and the other city blessings."

Main target of Sholokhov's scorn was plainly Evgeny Evtushenko, 28, the current idol of serious poetry lovers and the young intelligentiki.
