Abstract
The author carries out a linguopoetic analysis of A. A. Voznesensky’s poem "Candle Sculptor" ("Skul’ptor Svechei") with a particular focus on its lexical composition and textual associative meaning fields, as well as symbolic, methaphoric and intertextual connections. The poem is devoted to the theme of creativity, which appears in the work as spiritual burning requiring the highest effort and complete dedication from a person. The vocabulary associated with the theme of creativity constructs associative semantic fields, thus determining the basic metaphors and symbols of the text. The poem contains clearly expressed intertextual connections: references to the ancient legend about the sculptor Pygmalion, allusions to the poetic works of V. V. Mayakovsky and B. L. Pasternak, as well as to the text of the Orthodox prayer "Our Father" ("Otche Nash").
