Igor Georgievich Vishnevetsky ( _ru. Игорь Георгиевич Вишневецкий)(b. January 5, 1964 in Rostov-on-the-Don, USSR) is a notable Russian poet. He has been a contributor and editor in numerous Russian literary journals and anthologies since the 1980s. Though some of his work has been published in the United States, very little of it exists in translation.

Biography

Igor Vishnevetsky was born in Rostov-on-the-Don in 1964 to Georgei and Alla Vishnevetsky. Vishnevetsky originally aspired to become a composer, and studied music in school before attending Moscow State University to pursue a degree in philology. After graduating in 1986, Vishnevetsky became an active member of the poetry and art scenes that existed in Moscow and St. Petersburg prior to the break-up of the Soviet Union.

Vishnevetsky emigrated to the United States in 1995, but now splits his time between the United States and Russia (he has remained a Russian citizen). In recent years, he has also become a notable music historian, and is considered an authority on the Russian-American composer Vladimir Dukelsky.
