The father served in the Zemsky department of the Ministry of the Interior, but was also known as a writer, the author of articles on the history of archeology, ethnography, and folklore.

In Gorodetsky, a tendency to drawing and poetry appeared early. After graduating from the 6th St. Petersburg gymnasium, he in the city of that time Gorodetsky was carried away by poetry. The imagery and stylistics of the first poetic experiments of Sergei Gorodetsky determined, on the one hand, the influence from the poetry of the younger Symbolists - Blok, Andrei Bely, on the other - the impressions made by him from a trip to the Pskov province, where the young poet participated in peasant games, recorded songs, beliefs, getting into the spirit of folk myth -making.

Gorodetsky’s verses, saturated with a pantheistic sense of fullness and unity of the world, were enthusiastically accepted in the “tower” Vyach.

This was emphasized in the city in the preceding collection of “dedication”, and in the thoughtful architectonics of the collection, built as a kind of diary, and in choosing a poetic form - the eight -resistant, giving, according to Gumilyov, “the ability to capture the most fleeting thoughts and sensations”.
