Beschreibung:
Vladimir Azarov is an architect, a poet, and a translator. His poetry collections include Dinner with Catherine the Great, Imitation, The Kiss from Mary Pickford: Cinematic Poems, Night Out, Of Life & Other Small Sacrifices, and Voices in Dialogue: Dramatic Poems. He lives in Toronto.
A wonderful look at Soviet-era life as witnessed from the edge of the empire, this book is comprised of letters, poems, and prose pieces that together create a narrative. Through an entirely original form, Vladimir Azarov begins with a simple exploratory exchange of letters between him and a faceless bureaucrat. What follows is an unfolding sequence that finds Azarov meeting a remarkable Mongolian woman and later discovering the memoirs of one of Russia's greatest poets, Anna Akhmatova.
