The poems range from epigrammatic miniatures to extended ballads, and several of them appear here in English for the first time. They provide the reader with a new insight into one of the most fertile periods of Russia's literary history and the web of interrelationships of the poets that lay at its heart. "...this collection reflects and confirms an inextinguishable vitality in Russian poetic life and the unshakeable faith of the Russian poet in the written word." Peter Oram (in his Introduction) Parallel text, Russian / English - About Peter Oram:: Peter Oram was born in Cardiff in 1947.
