Poetry. Osip Mandelstam was born in 1891. Professor Donald
Rayfield, in his notes to Chapter 42 and the Goldfinch by Nadezhda
and Osip Mandelstam, wrote that Mandelstam's "poetry of the
thirties, almost all unpublished in his own lifetime, marks him as
arguably the greatest Russian poet this century." He died in a
Siberian transit camp in 1938. Elaine Feinstein, in her foreword to
A NECKLACE OF BEES, writes that "Maria Enzensberger has chosen not
only early poems where Mandelstam is grateful for the quiet joy of
being alive, but later poems which have the 'flavour of smoke and
grief;' the abrupt, intimate, miraculous poems of Mandelstam's
years in exile. And here these translations speak with
heartbreaking clarity." Maria Enzensberger was born in Moscow in
1943. She died in London in 1991.
