He is a bright representative of Jewish poets and writers group, which incredibly grew up in the 80s in the former Soviet Union, went through various vicissitudes of the last decades and continued faithful service to the Yiddish language and creativity in it in the 21st century.

Lemster is one of the Yiddish poets who writes a lot. His poems are also translated from Yiddish by famous translators into Russian, Romanian, and Hebrew.

Recently, his fourth poetry collection in last years has been published and translated into Russian.
