In our age — plentiful and destructive,

For every step and breath in response,

A poet must be a teacher

The teacher must be a poet.

A remarkable poet and teacher was and remains for many of his students and readers Nikolai Nikolaevich Yarko, — shared Boris Babushkin.

The poet Yury Kublanovskiy noted the importance for the city of such people as Nikolai Yarko.

Lucky is the city that has its own singer, its own poet, who understands the small Motherland as a particle of God’s Intention. Nikolai Bright understood this clearly. And he had a happy gift — to put his understanding into the language of poetry. The lyrical meaning of his poems in understanding and clarifying our existence— notes Yuri Kublanovskiy.
