About him
According to the poet Vitaly Pukhanov ,
If we mentally superimpose the lonely sound of the saxophone on the “bald gnar of the world's summer”, on the “distance whitewashed by blood”, then we will catch Kravtsov at the point of poetic design about him, about the poet: to love what was cursed by everyone, to become happy in the place of last despair [1] .
The critic Evgenia Vezhlyan notes:
The poetry of Konstantin Kravtsov is unusual not only because the author managed to create a special, unlike any other, manner of writing, but also for reasons that may seem extra-literary: Konstantin Kravtsov is not only a poet, but - and even more so, an Orthodox priest . <...> this almost unsolvable and extremely intense contradiction, in fact, introduces Konstantin Kravtsov's poetry at risk, where dogma and aesthetic boldness, faith and spiritual search find resolution in an organic, but unexpected synthesis - a combination of semantic poetics (Mandelstam is one of the immediate sources of Kravtsov’s poetry) and Christian exegesis. The ordinary, appearing in the guise of the secular, cultural (forming the intertextual plane) and spiritual (on which the first and second are projected) form three levels of the existence of meaning in the book [2] .
