Book Overview

"The book is a credit to the press, a boon to everyone interested in Russian culture, and an important resource for teachers and students of Russian literature." --Library Journal

" . . . a solid and conscientious piece of work, informed by discerning taste and learning." --Times Literary Supplement

"Smith's collection of contemporary Russian poetry should be useful to anyone with a serious interest in work produced during recent years both by poets living in the U.S.S.R. and by prominent Third Wave emigr s. . . . The introductory and biographical materials are excellent." --Publishers Weekly

The work of twenty-three poets, living in Russia and abroad and writing during the period since 1975, is highlighted in this dual-language anthology. The book features an extraordinary cohort of talented poets, including Joseph Brodsky, Evgenii Rein, and Bella Akhmadulina. Notes, biographical sketches, a detailed bibliography, and an informative introduction make this an indispensable resource for teachers, students, and readers of modern Russian literature.

Fantastic poety...

I enjoy reading poetry in the original & this is a great way for linguists to practice their language skills. I'm happy to have found this book. If you already speak a foreign language or are just learning, dual language books such as this are worth their weight in gold. I also recommend DoverPublications.com for a list of dual language books (short stories, poetry, even some w/ CDs!). they have Italian, French, German, and a few Russian books. Great for a fun way to study & practice!

Excellent bilingual compilation

Professor Gerald Smith has done an excellent job in compiling some of the best new voices in contemporary Russian poetry by poets living in Russia and abroad. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who's seriously interested in the study of contemporary Russian poetry. --Alexander Shaumyan, Russian born poet, author of Spirit of Rebellion
