The poet’s road to literature in fact started with publication in “Literaturka” (Literature) in the nineteen-eighties. Twenty years later, Alexander Korotko published three books of miniatures – single-line poems, aphorisms of high figurative concentration with philosophical overtones. These are the “Transcription of Thought”, “Afigisms” and “From A to Yafigisms”. During this time, the “Big Book of Aphorisms” also grew to an anthology with a new name – “The Golden Book of Aphorisms.”
