A winner in The Poetry Business Pamphlet Competition 2007Yvonne
Green takes us into the unfamiliar world of Boukhara and Judeo
Tajik culture with complete assurance. For all the lucidity of her
poetry, her work has an unusual density. This is a fine new voice,
which deserves to be widely heard.' - Elaine Feinstein'There is a
homeliness and accuracy of observation and diction in her work
which reveal religious and social dignity.' - Sebastian
Barker'These enthralling and lovely poems begin with rich
recollections of another country (so we ate so we loved), but
darken into the shock of domestic violence. This collection is
absolutely straightforward to read, but quite unforgettable.' -

Poetry Book Society Recommended Translation (Winter 2011). Semyon
Izrailevich Lipkin (1911-2003) is now recognised as a leading
literary figure in Russia, though he is still relatively unknown in
the west. In his own country, he was for many years known primarily
as a translator, with only close friends able to read his poems. It
was not until the collapse of the Soviet Union that the general
reading public was allowed to become fully aware of the scope and
depth of Semyon Lipkin's own poetry. His work is concerned with
history and philosophical exploration, but above all shows a keen
sense of people's diverse destinies. His poems are rich with
references to his Jewish heritage and to the Bible, and they draw
on a first-hand awareness of the tragedies of World War II. Yvonne
Green has worked for eight years, making and working from literal
translations to create 'versions' - poems 'after Lipkin' that bring
to English some of this fascinating writer's most characteristic
verse.
