Description
The Same Solitude: A Correspondence Between Two Russian Poets In 1922, Marina Tsvetaeva emigrated from Russia, but it was only weeks later that Boris Pasternak discovered her poetry and sent her a letter of praise. This marked the beginning of a decade-long epistolary romance between the two modernist poets, conducted entirely through letters. Catherine Ciepiela's biography charts the poets' changing relations to each other, their extraordinary political events, and literature itself. Drawing on previously untranslated letters and poems, she explores the mutual influence of Tsvetaeva and Pasternak on each other's lives and art. The correspondence also sheds light on their famous triangular relationship with Rainer Maria Rilke in 1926. This book presents a new perspective on the poets' lives and work, treating each poet's letters and poems as a single text. It offers a unique view into the overlapping worlds of literary creativity, sexual identity, and political affiliation during this period.
