Velimir Khlebnikov wrote at a period when the terms of literature itself were being argued over.
The record lists Velimir Khlebnikov as Russian writer (1885–1922).
Velimir Khlebnikov was born at Malye Derbety in 1885. His recorded nationality is Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic.
Around the turn of the twentieth century, literary form itself came under argument, and the certainties of the realist novel were dismantled.
He worked as poet, writer and playwright.
The writing is recorded in Russian.
His work is classed as poetry.
Books outlive their reviews, and the ones that last are seldom the ones that sold best.
That the work was written from Russian Socialist Federative Soviet Republic matters: language, censorship and the reach of a publishing industry decide which books travel and which stay local.
Velimir Khlebnikov died in 1922, aged 37. The books remain, which is the only durable form a writing life takes.
