Marina Tsvetaeva is among the great European poets of the twentieth
century. With Anna Akhmatova, Boris Pasternak and Osip Mandelstam,
she retained her humanity and integrity through Russia's 'terrible
years' of the Great Terror. Even in her long, tragic exile, her
roots were in Russia and the great tradition of Russian poetry. Her
voice lives in part because it remains alert to her past, and to
cultures, especially French, where she spent her exile. When Elaine
Feinstein first read Tsvetaeva's poems in the 1960s, they
transformed her. Their intensity and honesty spoke to her directly.
To her first translations, published to acclaim in 1971, she added
in later years, not least the sequence 'Girlfriend', dedicated to
her lover Sofia Parnok. Feinstein published Tsvetaeva's biography
in 1987.
