Summary/Abstract: In the article there is a review of the history of the Belarusian verslibre in the 20th and the beginning of the 21st centuries: from Maxim Bogdanovich and Vatslav Lastovski – the initiators of verslibre experiment in the native poetry – to modern young poets. It is worth mentioning that it was M. Tank who put an emphasis in the Belarusian verslibre on images with national-cultural connotations. Such a feature of the writer’s style has become one of the leading characteristics in his poetry – the tradition of Tank. It is established that the Belarusian verslibre in the 20th and the beginning of 21st centuries fixes this tradition in works by A. Ryasanov and V. Orlov. National connotations are more obvious in other cultures: they can be seen in German poems by A. Ryazanov and works by M. Tank in Russian translations.
