Includes translations of Akhmatova, Blok, Mandelshtam, Severyanin and Tsvetayeva.
Also translations of Vladimir Vysotsky, known in Russia as the Greatest Bard.
Hello, and thatnks again, Ilya... I'll check these new poems out, and you may reemember our discussion of this subject a couple of years ago:

I delved into Russian poetry pretty heavily a
couple of years ago, when i found a nice book from the early 1970s,
"50 Soviet Poets".
Vladimir Lugovskoy is one of my favorite poets from /any/ country. I discovered his work During my rounds to the used book stores/thrift
shops a couple of years ago, I came across this cool little hardback
from 1974 Russia, for two bucks, I see it was reprinted in 2001 but
they probably didn't keep the quaint shaky
typeset and binding this copy has that makes it a fascinating artifact from a time long passed.

Fifty Soviet Poets compiled and edited by Vladimir Ognev and Dorian Rottenberg
(Book Description from http://www.amazon.com/Fifty-Soviet-Poets-Vladimir-Ognev/dp/158963604X):
"A treasury of modern soviet poetry. Works of 50 modern - post 1920 - Russian poets with text in Russian on one side and English on the
other. Illustrated with photographs of the poets and capsule
biographies. Includes Yevgeni Yevtushenko, Boris Pasternak, Boris Slutsky, Alexander Prokofiev, Nikolai Zabolotsky, Anna Akhmatova,
Nikolai Aseyev, Rasul Gamzatov, Silva Kaputikyan, Samuel Marshak,
Sergei Mikhalkov and many others."
I expected "Soviet" poetry to be clamped down and dry from the
opressions of the era, but was pleasantly surprised that they have the same poetic drives as poets anywhere.
Vladimir Lugovskoy... you don't happen to be familiar with him -
perhaps give a whirl at translating some of his work? Actually, I had
a link to many of his poems in Russian, which a firend named Jerry
Kraus found for me, and actually translated one of them... I'll find
that and post the link here for you, if possible.
Outstanding research....
This us the book I told Rachel about, earlier today.
Let me have a look when I stop by again...
