Themes and images of Elena Aginskaya's poetry
The aim of the research is to reconstruct the poetic world of Elena Aginskaya. The article highlights the main themes of the poet's work, determines their place in the work as a whole, reveals the connection between them, justifies its existence. The main images that characterize the lyrical heroine are highlighted. Based on the obtained data, the poetic world of Elena Aginskaya is reconstructed. As a methodological basis, 59 poems from the book "By the Word", published in the "Personal Series" in 2017, were used. Among the most significant topics are: religious, motherhood, time and death, creativity. All themes are revealed in accordance with an unusual trend: the desire to create a domestic "shell" around her artistic world; from this - the unprovable religiosity of the lyrical heroine, the theme of death is directly connected with motherhood... The heroine fixes herself in space-time, at one point - here and now. The theoretical significance lies in the expansion of literary ideas about the concept of "poetic world". The practical significance lies in the possibility of using the information obtained in the course of the study for the further study of the poetic work of Elena Aginskaya, as well as for the development of literary local lore. One of the elements of the analysis is the involvement of author's comments, which do not determine the direction of the analysis, but allow us to reconstruct the subtext and indicate the author's position, confirming observations and conclusions obtained analytically. As a result, it is revealed that the author's thinking is paradoxical: instead of allowing creativity to expand its horizons or take it up, it narrows the artistic space to the size of a room, "tames" it, but at the same time oversaturates it figuratively and semantically. The lyrical heroine is at the center of the poetic world, and themes and images revolve in orbits around her and in their own way affect the disclosure of character, and themes highlight the most important aspects of her life.
