520 1 |a "'How do you convince the English-speaking public that Pushkin's genius is as great as the Russians claim?' This question, raised at the bicentenary of Pushkin's birth, is the catalyst for a collection of new translations, versions of and responses to the poetry of Alexander Pushkin by some of the best poets writing in English today, from America, the Antipodes, Ireland and Great Britain." "After Pushkin is an exhilarating introduction to the great Russian Romantic, here represented in his many guises: lyricist, satirist, epic poet." "The poems included here represent only a fraction of Pushkin's work, but they epitomise some of his salient qualities of clarity, passion and high drama. In these versions, many new qualities find their way into English poetry."--BOOK JACKET.  |9 bnatoc
