Dark Elderberry Branch: Poems of Marina Tsvetaeva [With CD (Audio)]

by Marina Tsvetaeva

"A poet of genius."--Vladimir Nabokov

Via what Ilya Kaminsky and Jean Valentine call "readings"--not translations--of fragments of Marina Tsvetaeva's poems and prose, Tsvetaeva's lyrical genius is made accessible and poignant to a new generation of readers. By juxtaposing fragments of her poems with short pieces of prose, we begin to know her as poet, friend, enemy, woman, lover, and revolutionary.
