Fans of songwriters and contemporary poetry usually do not gather at large concert venues; they like forest glades and small halls. Voronin Alexander often meets with his admirers in city libraries and small interest clubs. Today he is known as a promising poet, playwright, prose writer and editor of the publication "North".
Youth
Voronin Alexander was born in the Leningrad region, in Gatchina, but later his family moved to the Krasnodar Territory. There he received school education Sasha. Alexander chose the military profession for himself. He studied at the Stavropol Military School and became a radio communications engineer. Voronin served in the missile forces.
He was assigned to the city of Glukhov,
Sumy region. Later, he only traveled from one military unit to another in this area. After
Glukhov, Alexander visited Lebedin and Romny. Voronin served in the armed forces for six years, after which he realized that he wanted something different from life.
Change of field of activity
It is rare to see the poet in the photo. Voronin Alexander, who became the captain of the reserve in 1989 and radically changed his life, decided to change his profession and entered the department of the Gorky Literary Institute, where poets were trained. However, very soon Alexander realized that it was difficult to write at the direction of professors. He leaves the institute in his second year and does not return there even for documents.
Along with an attempt to become a student, Voronin Alexander joined the April public organization, which included writers who supported the idea of perestroika and a change of leadership in the USSR. In 1991, Alexander left for Karelia, and later moved to Petrozavodsk.
Poetry did not bring a lot of money, so Alexander went the way of an ordinary working man. He first worked as an electronic engineer, and then changed several specialties: he was a surveyor, a private security guard shooter, and a crawler accountant at the Housing Management Department.
Voronin Alexander: creativity
Sometimes Alexander’s work was related to literature. Over the years, he worked as a journalist, editor of the poetry department, editor-in-chief of the literary almanac (the publication did not last long), and executive secretary of the publishing center. Now he has returned to his beloved business - he serves as the editor of the poetry department in the online journal Sever and publishes his poems, which are popular not only in Russia but also abroad.
In 2009, Voronin Alexander became the laureate of the international competition in Vienna, as well as the best poet in 2011. Now he often attends thematic competitions and speaks to his fans in small clubs and libraries. There he reads verses from his collections, and also sings songs to an acoustic guitar. Alexander recorded several albums of the author’s song, which listeners love for their sincerity. Often he shifts the verses of Pushkin, Gumilyov, Yesenin to the music of classics.
Alexander collaborates with his colleagues - authors from Petrozavodsk. Together they record and compile albums, perform at events. As a poet, Voronin tries himself in different genres: from traditional poems to hoku and other unusual forms.
