Pavel Shirokov
Pavel Dmitrievich Shirokov (1893–1963) (Russian: Павел Дмитриевич Широков) was a poet of Ego-Futurism in Russia in the 1910s. He was a close friend of Ivan Ignatyev, who published Shirokov's first book entitled "Rozy v Vine" (Roses in Wine).[1] Neologisms and French words occur frequently in Shirokov's works; he refers to his verses using French terms such as triolets, virelais, romances, etc., a characteristic possibly derived from fellow Ego-Futurist Igor Severyanin.[1] In January 1913 another book of poems was published, entitled "V i Vne" (Inside and Outside), described by critic Vladimir Markov as "much less successful and, strangely enough, less futuristic."[1] Pavel Shirokov later participated in publications of the Moscow Futurists (Mezzanine of Poetry and Centrifuge), though never published any more books, and faded into obscurity.
