From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Nikolai Alekseevich Klyuev (occasionally transliterated from the Cyrillic alphabet as Kliuev, Kluev or Kluyev) (1887-1937), was a notable Russian poet.
Born in a small village near the town of Vytegra, Kluyev rose to prominence in the early twentieth century as the leader of the so-called "peasant poets". Kluyev was a close friend and mentor of Sergei Yesenin and was the lover of the Russian painter Anatoly Nikiforovich Yar-Kravchenko as well as the novelist Nikolai Arkhipov.
