The Last Poet of the Village: Selected Poems by Sergei Yesenin Translated by Anton Yakovlev - Softcover
Synopsis
It is difficult to find a Russian person who doesn't know by heart at least one poem by Sergei Yesenin (1895-1925), whose distinctive lyricism and lush rural imagery have indelibly imprinted themselves into the Russian consciousness. Second in popularity among Russian speakers only to Alexander Pushkin, Yesenin has received surprisingly little attention abroad, where he is best known for his brief marriage to Isadora Duncan. This bilingual edition (original Russian side-by-side with translation by Anton Yakovlev) is an attempt to rectify the relative scarcity of Yesenin's English translations and to introduce English speakers to many of his most beloved and iconic poems.

About the Authors
The great 20th-century Russian poet Sergei Yesenin, while second in popularity with his countrymen only after Pushkin, is perhaps best known outside of his homeland for his brief marriage to Isadora Duncan. After their relationship broke up, Yesenin hung himself. His great contemporary rival, Vladimir Mayakovsky, wrote a poem "To Sergei Yesenin" castigating him for "taking the easy way out"-only to commit suicide himself (again, questionable) a few years later. Sadly, Yesenin, still immensely popular in the post-Soviet Union, has barely been translated into English.
Anton Yakovlev's most recent chapbook Chronos Dines Alone, winner of the James Tate Poetry Prize 2018, was published by SurVision Books. He is also the author of Ordinary Impalers (Kelsay Books, 2017) and two prior chapbooks. His poems have appeared in The New Yorker, The Hopkins Review, Measure, Amarillo Bay, and elsewhere.

Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. Neuware - The great Russian poet Sergei Yesenin, while second in popularity with his countrymen only after Pushkin, is perhaps best known outside of his homeland for his brief marriage to Isadora Duncan. After their relationship broke up, Yesenin hung himself. Or perhaps he was murdered-their were a great many 'suicides' during the Stalinist purges. His great contemporary rival, Vladimir Mayakovsky, wrote a poem 'To Sergei Yesenin' castigating him for 'taking the easy way out'-only to commit suicide himself (again, questionable) a few years later. Sadly, Yesenin, still immensely popular in the post-Soviet Union, has barely been translated into English. This bilingual edition (original Russian side-by-side with my translation) is an attempt to rectify that. Seller Inventory # 9780996157087
