Anna Akhmatova (June 23, 1889 - March 5, 1966) is considered by
many to be one of the greatest Russian poets of the Silver Age. Her
works range from short lyric love poetry to longer, more complex
cycles, such as Requiem, a tragic depiction of the Stalinist
terror. One of the forefront leaders of the Acmeism movement, which
focused on rigorous form and directness of words, she was a master
of conveying raw emotion in her portrayals of everyday situations.
During the time of heavy censorship and persecution, her poetry
gave voice and hope to the Russian people. In this dual-language
selection of Anna Akhmatova's poetry, Andrey Kneller's translations
capture not only the general message, but also strive to preserve
the beautiful lyrical quality of the originals.
