The first book of Narbut’s poems, printed by church-Slavic font with an epigraph from psalms, was seized with royal censorship. Poems created by Narbut after the October Revolution of the collection “In Fiery Pillars”, although they are dedicated to revolutionary themes, but are abstract in nature, are written in high -parietal evangelical tones. In addition to poems, Narbuta owns a number of stories.

Ivanova, in the meetings of the "Academy of Verse", and after the conflict of Gumilyov with Vyach.

Ivanov and the split of the “Academy” is part of the Gumilyovsky “Workshop of Poets” the early work of Narbut in many ways anticipates his acmeistic works. So, V. Bryusov, evaluating the first poetic collection of Narbut “Poems. Narbut favorably differs from many other novice poets with the realism of their poems. He has the ability and desire to look at the world with his own eyes, and not through someone else's prism.

A number of well -aimed observations of the life of Russian nature are scattered in his book ”Bryusov V. among poems. Nevertheless, the same Bryusov rightly noted in the Narbutov “description” of the early verse, both stylistic and thematic amorphous: “Narbuta is not felt love of verse; It is expressed in poems as if in a strange, unloved language. In addition, G.

Narbut with some boring indifference refers to all topics of his poems. He doesn’t care what to write about: he will notice something in the evening-he will write about the evening; He will notice a feature in the onset of a storm - folds stanzas about the storm ”there. The genuine, independent style of Narbut, as well as the “Narbutovsk” thematic repertoire itself, was formed by the time of his second book of poems “Alli-Luy” that the appearance of this book coincided with the birth of acmeism: along with the poems of Gumilyov, collected in the book “Alien Sky”, and the poems of the Akhmatovsky “Evening”, the work of Narbuta They were examples of acmeistic visual “things”, in particular its “Baudelerian” version of the aesthetization of the “non -ism”, the carnal principle of being.

Gumilev, - if there were no poem "Gadalka". In it, the explanation of the poet’s dream, enchanted and conquered by the surrounding it with matter and in every poem, we feel different manifestations of the same, earthly evil knowledge, spontaneous and enchanting new and genuine captivation of ugliness ”Gumilev N. Letters about Russian poetry. Thematically, Narbut's ballads, collected in the second book of his poems, go back to the artistic world of Little Russian folklore and ethnographic domestic in the spirit of genre scenes Ethnographic essays on Little Russia Narbut published many times the influence on Narbuta of the Little Russian "works of Narbuta's works was strict Consities with the acmeistic principle of “adamism”, that is, the “wise simplicity” of the artist with the “holy innocence” of a primitive man who contemplating the world the name of the book Narbut is associated with the statement of S.

Gorodetsky that the acmeists are “new Adams”, designed to “sing the lives and the world of Alleluia”. But Russian censorship did not delve into the intricacies of acmeistic doctrine, but accused Narbut of blasphemy and pornography. Most of the circulation of the book was confiscated; And N. in Narbut, in the footsteps of Gumilyov, leaves for Abyssinia and returns only after the general amnesty in the same year Narbut becomes the editor-publisher of the liberal “new magazine for all”.

There are 2 books of Narbut’s poems - “Love and Love” and “Wiy”, which continue the themes and poetic traditions of the previous book. In general, Narbut remained completely faithful to the version of the acmeistic lyro-epo, which he suggested in even his lyrical poems facing the innermost world of the spiritual experiences of the lyrical hero, acquire a “property”, gross tangibility of images thanks to the risky naturalistic metaphors of the SR.During the years of the revolution and the Civil War, Narbut turned out to be captured by violent events in the south of Russia, collaborated with the Socialist Revolutionaries, the Bolsheviks, and the short time with the Denikins subsequently served as a formal basis for the exclusion of Narbut from the party and subsequent arrest.
