Po Etu Storonu: Stikhotvoreniia I Poemy

Every aspect of life and literature is Fet's subject. But he returns time and time again to the scientific purview. Which is appropriate, as he is a biologist. But it is also extremely difficult to do, which is why there is so little poetry, in any language, which takes its inspiration in nontrivial ways from science. ... The scientific enters naturally in Victor Fet's poems, cohabits with the philosophical or imaginative view of the world. (Roald Hoffmann)
