Poetry. Translation by Julia Kunina. Nathaniel Tarn is an American poet, translator, critic, and editor. He has travelled in Russia in 1968 and 1995 and twice in 1998. "Speaking the language/ of lineages ago/ language of exile/ no longer recognized:/ is this our language?/ It is, it IS the language,/ but it has grown to wood, / it misses the word "soul,"/ and everything dries up/ around that absence" -- from The Names Return. Other titles by Nathaniel Tarn from SPD include I THINK THIS MAY BE EDEN, SCANDALS IN THE HOUSE OF BIRDS and MICROCOSM.
