The work of Russia’s best-known post-Stalin poet
YEVGENY YEVTUSHENKO blazed a trail for a generation of Soviet poets, leading Russia to new heights of artistic achievement in the twentieth century. With a confident poetic voice that moves effortlessly between social and personal themes, he describes his idyllic childhood in Serbia, his impressions of home after a long absence in Moscow, his joy upon discovering the unexpected in a lover, his chance meeting with Hemingway in Copenhagen, and his impressions of war, rendered with immediacy and vigor in these pages.
“A literary colossus.”
—The Economist
“The Soviet superbard.”
—Time
“These poems beat and tumble and thrash with life.”
—The Daily Telegraph (London)
