Description - The Voronezh Notebooks by Andrew Davis
Voronezh Notebooks assembles newly-translated poems from Osip Mandelstam, all of which were written during his infamous exile, just before he was sent to his death in a labor camp. This is indispensible reading for Mandelstam fans and for readers, students, and scholars of twentieth-century Russian poetry.
Osip Mandelstam is one of the greatest of twentieth-century poets and Voronezh Notebooks, a sequence of poems composed between 1935 and 1937 when he was living in internal exile in the Soviet city of Voronezh, is his last and most exploratory work. Meditating on death and survival, on power and poetry, on marriage, madness, friendship, and memory, challenging Stalin between lines that are full of the sights and sounds of the steppes, blue sky and black earth, the roads, winter breath, spring with its birds and flowers and bees, the notebooks are a continual improvisation and an unapologetic affirmation of poetry as life.
