Boris Pasternak is both the presiding spirit and the addressee of
specific poems in After Russia, Marina Tsvetaeva's last collection,
published in Paris 13 years before she died. The two poets engaged
in an impassioned correspondence which offers crucial insights into
the background and meaning of certain items. If a group of
remarkably tender poems concerns the emigre critic Alexander
Bakhrakh, remarkably little space is devoted to Tsvetaeva's
cataclysmic affair with her husband's friend Konstantin Rozdevich
during the last months of 1923. Towards the end, references to
Russia and Russian culture-so studiously avoided earlier-flood
back, making the final obeisance to a Russian peasant woman and to
Pasternak in Moscow a fitting close.
