Head on a Gleaming Plate: August 1917-October 1918

by Marina Tsvetaeva

The poems in this volume were composed between August 1917 and October 1918 and thus they span the most turbulent period of the 20th century in Russia, as the nascent republic was overthrown by the Bolsheviks and the country descended into civil war.
