Paul Klee's Boat (In the Grip of Strange Thoughts)
by Anzhelina Polonskaya
Unlike many of her contemporaries, Anzhelina Polonskaya did not receive a classic Russian literary education, so her work is considerably more idiosyncratic and less anchored in tradition. This book, her first collection in English translation since 2005, includes her cycle "Kursk," an oratorio requiem with music by David Chisolm that will be performed across Australia and the United States. Anzhelina Polonskaya was born in Malakhovka, a small town near Moscow, Russia. She began to write poems...

It was the first English tra...
Eugene Onegin (Alexander Pushkin - Eugene Onegin) (Anthem Cosmopolis Writings)
by Alexander Pushkin
Still the benchmark of Russian literature 175 years after its first publicationanow in a marvelous new translation PUSHKINaS INCOMPARABLE POEM has at its center a young Russian dandy much like Pushkin in his attitudes and habits. Eugene Onegin, bored with the triviality of everyday life, takes a trip to the countryside, where he encounters the young and passionate Tatyana. She falls in love with him but is cruelly rejected. Years later, Eugene Onegin sees the error of his ways, but fate is not...
Osip Mandelstam has become an almost mythical figure of modern Russian poetry, his work treasured all over the world for its lyrical beauty and innovative, revolutionary engagement with the dark times of the Stalinist era.
