Description

Russian Poets by Peter Washington explores two centuries of lyric poetry from Russia. This collection showcases the works of renowned poets such as Pushkin, Lermontov, and Mandelstam, alongside lesser-known but equally extraordinary voices. The poems in this volume reflect on the artist's craft, their country, and the human experience of love and mortality. The text is divided into six sections, each offering a unique perspective on these timeless themes. From the 'Muse' to the inner world, Russian poets have long grappled with the complexities of life and art. This collection provides a fascinating insight into the intensity and depth of Russian poetry, where politics and personal experience are inextricably linked.
