I breathe out memory. To breathe it in, For now, a new epoch is
needed, Or a new window may suffice - With a different aspect,
laurelled roads, Where the setting sun deposits, Its birth-mark on
me. This is like a postage stamp or the word 'Furniture' on the
side of a van, And the brand-mark on cattle, - I'd like to be
whoever, whatever, If only to move from the dead point, dead-end,
And find the exit therefrom. But probably it's where it first was.
Where later they crowned thorns with myrrh, That country, I don't
know it now, Or city, where Lot alone was pared? All in all I must
transcend, The intersecting lines of this window! This is the most
substantial selection of Inna Lisnianskaya's work to be published
in England to date, in a translation by Daniel Weissbort that
Elaine Feinstein describes in her illuminating introduction as
'clean, clear and...amazingly felicitous'. Lisnianskaya, an
intensely lyrical poet, is first and foremost a love poet, and the
love that she and her late husband, the celebrated poet Semyon
Lipkin, had for one another colours - without the least
sentimentality - many of Lisnianskaya's more recent poems. Indeed,
her most recent collection consists partly of an elegy to him.
