A moving collection of autobiographical essays from a Russian poet and refugee of the Bolshevik Revolution.
Marina Tsvetaeva ranks with Anna Akhmatova, Osip Mandelstam, and Boris Pasternak as one of Russia's greatest twentieth-century poets.
Her suicide at the age of forty-eight was the tragic culmination of a life beset by loss and hardship.
This volume presents in English a collection of essays published in the Russian emigre press after Tsvetaeva left Moscow in 1922.
Based on diari.
