Infused with great sadness for what became of the generation she grew up with and for her country; some of her earlier poems are lighthearted, witty, sweet. I wonder what she would have written if her life had not been bound fast with tragedy. A few thoughts on one of the poems here: http://rosemaryandreadingglasses.wordpress.com/2013/04/30/like-an-ermine-mantle-... sin reseñas | añadir una reseña
Ever since her death in 1966 Anna Akhmatova has been recognized as the greatest modern Russian poet. A rich and representative selection of Akhmatova's work--from her poignant, deeply personal love poems to her haunting laments for the martyrs of the Stalinist purges--has been newly translated by the American poet Lyn Coffin. In her finely crafted translations Coffin has been uniquely successful in reproducing the directness and striking effects characteristic of Akhmatova's poetry, and she is the first to remain true to Akhmatova's rhyme and cadence. The poems are prefaced by a thoughtful introduction by the poet Joseph Brodsky, a friend of Akhmatova in her later years. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |

"The three things he loved most in life
Were white peacocks, music at mass,
And tattered maps of America.
He didn't like kids who cried and he
Didn't like raspberry jam with tea
Or womanish hysteria.
...And I was, like it or not, his wife." ( )
