Parshchikov was regarded as the major figure of the Meta-metaphorist movement[2] (a Russian poetic movement called by some critics "Meta-realism"[3]), which Parshchikov founded along with Aleksandr Eremenko, Ivan Zhdanov and Ilya Kutik. In the last two decades, his works have been translated into fifteen languages. His publications in English include Blue Vitriol, translated by Michael Palmer, Michael Molnar, and John High and with an Introduction by Marjorie Perloff (Avec Books, 1994).
Oil, This poem by Alexei Parshchikov is translated here as a collaboration between Sergey Levchin, Richard Wayne Chambliss, Jr., and what is described as "Parshchikov's interlinear, editorial feedback from the poet Eugene Ostashevsky".
