    About this ebook

    In 1972, Natalya Gorbanevskaya was arrested for protesting against the detention of dissidents in Moscow’s Red Square. Featuring the work of this widely-recognized Russian poet and civil rights activist, this collection combines a folk-inspired modernism with a clear narrative. Of interest to Russian history buffs and academics of various fields, these poems blatantly reflect the author’s political engagement and argue against oppression.

      The writing in it is overall sort of bad, and somehow that’s been a balm, too: somehow I’m finding that I can’t bear a certain kind of good writing; it fits like an expensive coat whose style is all wrong for my body, for the climate, for the era. Th

      Encapsulates the problem with poetry in translation: I'm not sure whether this is effective in the original Russian, but in English it's uninteresting. Unusually, the early poems are better - they become totally bland and undercooked through the 70's onwards. Maybe a problem with the translation - who knows. Glad to have learnt more about Gorbanevskaya, who was an interesting figure, but without her political activity I don't think she'd be known as a poet. This book features an interesting interview, and a pseudy almost-nonsensical lecture about poetry in exile.
