Osip Mandelstam was one of four famous Russian poets of the early 20th century. The three others (Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva and Pasternak) unanimously considered him a great poet. This is no surprise. Among Mandelstam's many admired talents was that of "poetic transposition", his ability to identify the characteristic qualities of an object or class of objects and enrichingly apply them to another. The book contains new translations of his poems.
