In 1972 a collection of Russian poetry by five young St. Petersburg poets was published in New York . The book was called The Living Mirror. Two of the young poets – Konstantin Kuzminsky and Josef Brodsky soon escaped the iron grip of the Soviet Union and immigrated to the United States .

Josef Brodsky became famous, won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1986 and died of heart attack ten years later.  Such a fulfilled destiny has eluded Konstantin, so far.

L'Enfant terrible of the Russian art émigré scene Konstantin K. Kuzminsky lives in a tiny upstate New York village, on the bank of the Delaware River in an old shanty house near a railway crossing. His freedom is complete. His devotion to art is absolute.
He lives with his books, his art collection, his cats and his poetry.
And his wife, Mouse.
