The article reviews the poetic nature of the diary prose by the Buryat poet Bair Dugarov in the book "Sutra of Moments" (2011). It shows the idea of a connection and in- terweaving of prose and poetry, when poetic statements complement and comprehend the prose part of the book, which makes it possible to determine its genre nature. It is argued that for a Buryat Russian-speaking poet living at the crossroads of cultures, it is quite natural to continue such a phenomenon of Russian literature as the poet's prose. At the same time, the existence on the border of two instances — prose and poetry, allows the poet to express the national appearance of his work. It is noted that the central idea of the book is connected with the author's attempt to tell the reader his personal drama, i.e. with the problem of self- knowledge and self-determination. It is concluded that the attempt to reveal the phenomenon of the poet's prose in the book by B. Dugarov leads to an explanation of the aesthetic views of its author.
