Customer Reviews

Fantastic poety...

I enjoy reading poetry in the original & this is a great way for linguists to practice their language skills. I'm happy to have found this book. If you already speak a foreign language or are just learning, dual language books such as this are worth their weight in gold. I also recommend DoverPublications.com for a list of dual language books (short stories, poetry, even some w/ CDs!). they have Italian, French, German, and a few Russian books. Great for a fun way to study & practice!

Excellent bilingual compilation

Professor Gerald Smith has done an excellent job in compiling some of the best new voices in contemporary Russian poetry by poets living in Russia and abroad. I would highly recommend this book for anyone who's seriously interested in the study of contemporary Russian poetry. --Alexander Shaumyan, Russian born poet, author of Spirit of Rebellion
