"I write anytime, and amount of time does not matter," he said. "It is a very different kind of writing than academic work. The two kinds of writing, in my case, actually help each other. It is a question of concentrating and bringing a right emotion, I can write in a crowd, in an airport, in my head while walking or driving, etc. On the contrary, for me it is hard to imagine how I would write if I had unlimited free time for poetry only, but then it would be a very different life."

Victor Fet is one of the greatest poets writing "at odd moments." The very greatest among them was certainly Tiutchev. An interesting comparison if we think of Victor's family name.
