Solovetsk/Solovki in Russian poetry ?

[Elina Kahla]

Dear colleagues,
Would anyone remember references to Solovetsk monastery/Solovki islands 
in Russian poetry, fiction or cultural mythology?
I just visited the islands and am extraordinarily excited about its 
beauty, its significance in the Russian cultural history,
as a naval fortress, place of pilgrimage and tourism, asceticism, 
concentration camp, resurgence?
Grateful for all comments!
