Abstract
The paper studies the category of fantastic through the example of fantastical poetry by Vadim Shefner, focusing on texts like «Cosmic Legend», «Martian», «Electronic Fairy Tale», and «Fantastic». The analysis of fantastic, which is seen as a specific type of imagery, is conducted in two levels: lyricalplot and verbal image. Special emphasis is placed on the visual characteristics of the poem’s inner world, as transgressive (indirect) vision is often utilized to depict the fantastic. The specific features of the fantastic and visual in V. Shefner’s poems is determined by a conclusion, with the gaze serving as a means to cross the boundary between worlds.
