MAJOR UPDATE
/It may seem like a long time's gone since the last update, but what is a year in the great hall where history tapdances? A few taps? An echo? If the latter, then at least this echo carries with it from the Russian Modernist (and Futurist) past one of our biggest ever updates! So, check out our expanding "Poets and their Works" section to find freshly translated works by the Zhivago author Boris Pasternak, poems by the sly Sherlock Holmes proto-cosplayer Daniil Kharms, the epic "Wayward Streetcar" by Nikolay Gumilev, as well as a whole section dedicated to the legendary thunder-voiced iconoclast Vladimir Mayakovskiy! Therein you'll find English versions of some brazen-most verse-works from Mayak's sewer-pipe flute as well as the first part of his hard-etched ego-Futurist memoir "I MYSELF"!
Secondly, we are proud to share with you several translations from the digitized quill of the Russian-American poet Dasha Bulatova. As the Silver Age Poets' new contributing voice she is presently gifting you with brilliantly interpreted works by Marina Tsvetaeva, Anna Akhmatova, and Alexander Blok. So, don't waste time reading this prosaic marketing! Check out her work!
Finally, we are glad to announce that our contributor Aleksey Calvin's newly revised translation of Anna Akhmatova's "Requiem" is being published in this year's issues of Poetry International and UC Berkeley's Troika Magazine (who published our translation of Alexander Blok's "Twelve" last year).
More updates coming soon! The one we are presently working on will feature poems by Velimir Khlebnikov, Sergey Esenin, Vladimir Nabokov, and others!
