About this ebook
In 1972, Natalya Gorbanevskaya was arrested for protesting against the detention of dissidents in Moscow’s Red Square. Featuring the work of this widely-recognized Russian poet and civil rights activist, this collection combines a folk-inspired modernism with a clear narrative. Of interest to Russian history buffs and academics of various fields, these poems blatantly reflect the author’s political engagement and argue against oppression.

- Rating: 2 out of 5 stars2/5Encapsulates the problem with poetry in translation: I'm not sure whether this is effective in the original Russian, but in English it's uninteresting. Unusually, the early poems are better - they become totally bland and undercooked through the 70's onwards. Maybe a problem with the translation - who knows. Glad to have learnt more about Gorbanevskaya, who was an interesting figure, but without her political activity I don't think she'd be known as a poet. This book features an interesting interview, and a pseudy almost-nonsensical lecture about poetry in exile.
