The poet transmits his philosophical views on nature as a unity to his poetry where,according to his words, “something big is repeated in something small and microcosm reflects macrocosm” and where “the unitymakes the world and space wonderful”. Yu.V.Linnik published a series of books “My biosphere” (“Transparency”, “Parallel Universe”, “Birds fly to the North”, “A Book ofHerbs”, etc.) which combine ecological thinking with ethic attitude towards nature. He writes books for children (“Forest Theatre”, “ForestMail”). He is working on a big philosophical-mythological series “Krita Yoga” (49 brochures and a book “The Absolute” arepublished).
