Vladimir Mayakovsky (July 19, 1893 - April 14, 1930) is one of the
most recognized and celebrated poets of the Russian canon. One of
the leaders of the Russian Futurism movement, which sought to
capture the wonder of the fast-paced modern world and renounced the
static art of the past, Mayakovsky completely bent the boundaries
of language and introduced an entirely different style of poetry.
His irregular line-breaks, his use of internal rhyme, his control
of meter and his sense of rhythm combined together to form his
unique style. His imagery is overflowing with allusions, metaphors
and hyperboles. His major works, "A Cloud in Trousers," "Backbone
Flute," and "I Love," sparkle with wit, wisdom and originality.
This quality of his work is what also makes it incredibly difficult
to translate. In this dual-language selection of Mayakovsky's
poetry, Andrey Kneller attempts to capture not only the general
meaning, but also the lyrical quality of the poetry that makes
Mayakovsky a truly unique writer.
