Biography
Boris Kapustin was born in Rostov-on-Don . Grew up in Barnaul .
In 1964 he graduated from Barnaul Secondary School No. 27.
He studied at Moscow State University at the Faculty of Journalism and at the Barnaul Pedagogical Institute at the Faculty of Philology. He served in the army. He worked on regional radio, in large-circulation newspapers. Poems were published in regional and central newspapers, magazines, and collective collections. Altai Book Publishing House has released only two of his books: “Secret friend” ( 1988 ), “Strict winter” ( 1991 ). For the first he was awarded the prize named after V.M. Shukshin.
Kapustin is a poet of a pronounced bohemian trend. He almost did not participate in public events, printed a little, rarely went to compromises. It is almost impossible to find poems on patriotic themes, on the heroes of labor, on duty for Altai poetry in his work. He chose for himself, as a refuge, the area of classical art. Many of his poems are museum, about great artists, poets, about enduring values in the categories of good and evil, love and hate.
In recent years, bewildered by the new Russian reality and not accepting it, he has become acrid, his poems are given a spiritual insanity, such as "but you must pass it all in vain, all alone - die." Not very recognized during his lifetime: only during the perestroika years, and partly at his own expense, he published 2 collections during his lifetime, he becomes a true legend of Altai literature now, after his death. Almost half of the issue of Barnaul magazine was devoted to the memories of him, an analysis of his work.
Boris Vasilievich Kapustin died on August 29, 1996 from myocardial infarction and was buried in the Chernitsky cemetery in Barnaul .
