Occupation
Boris Golovin studied journalism at the Moscow State University and since that time became gradually known as a singer-songwriter who performed his songs, accompanied by the guitar, to live and TV audiences in Moscow and other parts of Russia. For example, some of his artistic tours were commissioned by the Northern Shipping Company which involved performances on cargo and fishing ships operating in the Arctic Ocean. His songs were awarded at national music competitions.
Literary movement
Golovin published his first book of poetry in Moscow in 1987. Since the late 1980s many readers have ranked Boris Golovin's poetry as one of the most influential in neoclassical movement. Though the poet himself has often emphasized that, strictly speaking, the word 'neoclassical' suffers from tautology since classical poetry as such descends from the Golden Age and fits both in the remote past and the future. Boris Golovin has always strongly declined any association with literary grouping.
