Twentieth Century Russian Poetry: Silver and Steel : an Anthology

Front Cover
Albert Todd, Max Hayward
Doubleday, 1993 - Literary Criticism - 1078 pages
This massive tome effectively captures the spirit and passion of Russian poetry in this century. Yevtushenko provides context by dividing the text into four clearly delineated sections and introducing each poet with an extensive preface; in addition, important terms are cross-referenced to a helpful glossary. While wide-ranging, the anthology remains judicious in its selection, offering outpourings from giants like Mandelstam or Akhmatova and perhaps a single poem from lesser lights. --Library Journal.

About the author (1993)

Yevgeny Yevtushenko was born Yevgeny Aleksandrovich Gangnus on July 18, 1933, in Zima Junction, a remote lumber station on the trans-Siberian Railway in the Irkutsk region of Siberia. He became a poet whose work inspired a generation of young Russians in their fight against Stalinism during the Cold War. His poems included Zima Junction, My Beloved Will Come, Stalin's Heirs, Babi Yar, and Russian Tanks in Prague. He also wrote two novels including Don't Die Before You're Dead. He died on April 1, 2017 at the age of 83.
