A Close Reading of Fifty-three Poems by Semyon Izrailevich Lipkin - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

This volume of 53 poems, selected by Alexander Solzhenitsyn and translated by Yvonne Green, shows the remarkable range of Semyon Lipkin’s work: his Jewish faith, Stalin’s oppression, the Holocaust, and the spiritual fate of mankind and reveal why as a poet, he was revered by great Russian writers like Anna Akhmatova, and Josef Brodsky.

The witty, wise, and acerbic voice of Semyon Lipkin, a poetic scourge of Soviet autocracy and cruelty, comes fully to life in this volume. Hendon Press, Yvonne Green, and Sergei Makarov are to be congratulated for this precious poetic gift to the English-language reader.

– Thomas de Waal, author of The Caucasus: An Introduction and translator of Osip Mandelstam’s Tristia
