REASON TO KEEP WRITING: ANDREI VOZNESENSKY, age 77, a daring and popular poet of the Soviet era, was one of the so-called "children of the '60s," a generation of thinkers who tasted intellectual freedom during the post-Stalin thaw. His unusual rhymes and bold metaphors contrasted sharply with other Soviet poetry. His innovative verse thrilled readers but irked authorities and criticized by orthodox Soviet writers. Soviet leader Nikita Khrushchev once threatened to exile him, yelling at a him during a meeting with Soviet art and literary figures. His books of poems included "The Triangular Pear," ''Antiworlds," ''Stained-glass Master," ''Violoncello Oakleaf," ''Videoms and Fortune Telling by the Book." Some of his works were turned into theater productions, like "Antiworlds" and "Save your Faces" at the Taganka Theater, "Juno and Avos" at the Lenkom Theater and others both in Russia and abroad.
