Biography
Biography
Petersburg publishing house Symposium (publisher) from 1995 to 2007 and has been the Editor-in-Chief of the Moscow publishing house OGI since 2008. He is married to the poet Anna Zolotaryova and lives in Moscow. Tatyana Bek was the first to define his style, calling him an "archaist-innovator." His poetry is influenced by classical Greek and Roman poetry and by Russian poetry of the 18th century. He has translated the works of Catullus, Pindar, and Homer, as well as poetry from Georgian, Italian, Ukrainian, and other languages. Amelin has edited and published the works of several lesser-known Russian writers, including Dmitry Ivanovich, Count Khvostov (1757-1835), Aleksandr Yefimovich Izmaylov (1779-1831), Sergey Neldikhen (1891-1942), Anna Petrovna Bunina (1774-1829), and Vasily Petrovich Petrov (1736-1799). In 2017, Amelin was awarded the Poet (prize), a national Russian prize that has been awarded since 2005.
