Selected Poems Paperback / softback
by Marina Tsvetaeva
Paperback / softback
Description
During the Stalin years Russia had four great poets to voice the feelings of her oppressed people: Pasternak, Akhmatova, Mandelstam and Marina Tsvetayeva.
The first two survived the terror, but Mandelstam died in a camp and Tsvetayeva was driven to hang herself in 1941.
This comprehensive selection of Tsvetayeva's poetry includes complete versions of all her major long poems and poem cycles: Poem of the End, An Attempt at a Room, Poems to Czechia and New Year Letter.
It was the first English translation to use the new, definitive Russica text of her work.
It also includes additional versions ascribed to F.F.
Morton which first appeared in The New Yorker: these rhyming translations are actually the work of Joseph Brodsky (who lived at 44 Morton Street in New York).
