I was enchanted with this selection of Akhmatova's work. I had never heard of her before reading this, and it gave a well-rounded amount of her poetry so that I could get a great feel for her writing. She is now one of my favorites! I loved the tiny size of this book as well, and I'm looking into the other editions of the Everyman's Library Pocket Poets. Really beautiful poems and words by a talented author. I would highly recommend.

A collection of poems by Soviet poet Anna Akhmatova that explore a wide range of topics related to religion, politics, social injustice, love, loss, and tragedy.
