Abstract

Siberian writers occupy an important place in contemporary poetry for children. Such present day poets as Alexander Bergelson, Alex Eroshin (Novosibirsk), Andrew Oleary (Tomsk), Nikolai Jaroslavtsev (Chita) are not well-known to the Russian readers. Nevertheless, their poetry exhibits many important features that characterize contemporary children's literature as a whole; their works are marked by particular interest to the genre of miniature, they are full of wordplay, and paradoxes. The depiction of two separate categories, an opportunity and an event, are analyzed based on poetic examples. These categories are discussed as opposites that as such contribute to the poetic simulation of reality.
