Poetic Obituaries: Aleksandr Feinberg published 16 collections of poems,

and his last book "Leave" was published few months ago. He also wrote over 70 screenplays for documentaries, movies and animation films.

"He was always extremely honest and sincere--both in his poems and in life, and we will always remember him like this," well-known Uzbek writer Abdulla Aripov, who used to chair the Union of Uzbekistan's Writers, said about Feinberg at the funeral.

The union prepared a two-tom collection of his best poems to publish ahead of his anniversary on 2 November, but the writer could not witness this event.
