August 29 this year, Alexander Korotko received many congratulations on his birthday, come from all over the world, which, as it turned out, is not so huge. Of course, the Internet and social networks have contributed a lot to this. Among the congratulations, one of the most expensive came from Israel, from an old friend, a subtle connoisseur of poetry, a physician and writer Alexander Gohfeld. His letter, in fact, is not just an epistolary compliment with wishes for a birthday – innate delicacy, intelligence and unconditional talent allowed without pathetic, simple and warm words to tell about a real friend, a great poet and an extraordinary personality. Alexander Gofeld finished his message with a poem more than ten years ago, supplemented the day before, with a dedication to Alexander Korotko. This letter took its place on the site page “Reviews”.
