Review
"We needn't worry again about how to read Akhmatova in translation... the translations are remarkable. Reading this enormous, impeccable book, we watch her work achieve the supreme goal of lyric poetry: to transfigure loss without belittling it, commemorate love without cooling it, and embody the truth of disparate lives in a single self." (Andrew Motion The Observer)
"Hemschemeyer's versions are the best I have ever seen. This great lilac brick of a book is a stupendous bargain." (Michael Hoffman The Times)
"This edition is an enormous achievement . . . usefully annotated and well illustrated. The text is the definitive English-language edition of Akhmatova . . . a ground-breaking work." (Elizabeth Burns The Scotsman)
"A fitting tribute to one of the greatest poets of the century... this is a volume to be treasured." (The Good Book Guide)
"This is one of the most important publications of the year, if not the decade." (Adam Thorpe Literary Review)
