Modern-day bards?

[Eugenia Kelbert]

Dear Emily,

Another somewhat more recent bard is Alexander Litvinov, better known as
Venya Drkin. He died early but left a growing fan base, and he represents
something of a post-bard use of the genre, with a pronounced rock
influence, which could be a good addition to the more traditional Gnezdo
gluharia sort of form. Oh, and maybe Kim for a more humorous take on the
genre?

Best wishes,

Eugenia
