Dmitriy Garichev

Dmitry Garichev is a Russian writer and poet.

He was born in the town of Noginsk, Moscow Oblast. In his childhood he worked as a correspondent for district newspapers, a postman, and the head of a school choir. At the age of twelve, he was taken under the wing of the city literary association “Lyra,” led by Vladimir Nikolayevich Gordeev, now deceased. He graduated from the Faculty of Translation of the Moscow State Linguistic University.

He has been publishing on the Internet since 2011, and made his debut in the magazine Znamya in 2014. His first book of poems, After All the Dogs, was published in 2018 and received the small Moscow Score Prize.

The authors most important to him are Aleksey Tsvetkov Sr., Sergei Stratanovsky, Yegor Letov, as well as the Chelyabinsk writers Andrey Podushkin and Aleksandr Samoylov. In literature, he focuses on local tasks, paying the greatest attention to locally revered miracles and beauties.

Dmitry Garichev writes poems that formally fit the definition of civic lyric poetry. At the same time, they contain a reserve of honesty, self-strictness, and cooling admiration that is rarely found in contemporary lyric poetry and goes beyond the question of “what about?”

He lives in Noginsk and works as a translator. He is married in the most wonderful way. He picks strawberries, mushrooms, and sorrel.
