The article is devoted to the initial period of creativity of the poet of the Silver Age Marietta Shaginyan in 1906-1909, when the poetry collection “First Meetings” (1909) was created, her acquaintance and friendship with V. Khodasevich, A. Bely, Z. Gippius. The structure and poetics of the debut collection, the originality of the creative manner and the principles of symbolist aesthetics are analyzed. Reminiscences from V. Bryusov’s poetry are revealed. The title of the collection and the epigraph “The Great Feast of the First Meetings”, preceding the cycle, is a line from the poem “At Noon” from the cycle “From Hell Expelled” “Wreath”, the intertextual correspondent of structure and composition is the poetry collection “Urbi et Orbi”. Here we can talk about the creative interpretation of symbolism, and the last cycles of the collection Ynterieurs and The Enchanted Castle, written after they met in 1908, bear the direct influence of the poetry of Z. Gippius.
Keywords: Shaginyan, poetry, Silver Age, symbolism, individuality, V. Bryusov, A. Bely, Z. Gippius.
