An Anthology of Contemporary Russian Women Poets

This anthology is the first of its kind, a comprehensive survey of the wealth of poetry written by Russian women since the 1980s. The poets range from founding figures such as Inna Lisnianskaya and Bella Akhmadulina and established writers like Tatyana Shcherbina and Vera Pavlova, to the vibrant generation born after 1970, whose poetry is almost unknown outside Russia. The editors have included biographies of the poets and translators, a bibliography of primary sources and essays by Dmitry Kuzmin and Elena Fanailova.
