Marina Tsvetaeva (October 8, 1892 - 31 August 31, 1941) is considered by many to be Russia's greatest female poet, rivaled perhaps only by Anna Akhmatova. Tsvetaeva's poetry was often of a very passionate and almost obsessive nature. She writes of unrequited love and heartbreak, of her admiration for other writers, of the devastation of war, and of her generally troubled life. Nonetheless, she is always able to contain this raw emotion in an extremely rigorous and disciplined form, unique only to her. Especially in her later poetry, frequent enjambments, inner rhymes, short lines, word play, and numerous allusions dominate her work.
In this dual-language selection, Andrey Kneller offers his attempts to capture this distinctive style of Marina Tsvetaeva's poetry by preserving both the message and the music of the originals.
My Poems Selected Poetry of Marina Tsvetaeva edition by Marina Tsvetaeva Andrey Kneller Literature Fiction eBooks
Tsvetaeva was gifted with a profoundly lyrical voice. She crafted that kind of poetry that mirrors every raw, unrestrained emotion. Her poetry reflects an intense and rather unique lyricism, artful rhymes and keen observations on the world and its complexity just like on herself – a vulnerable position she did not even try to conceal. She was praised for the quality of her rhymes and word play.As with every collection that Andrey Kneller translated, this book includes every poem in its original language. This was another fine work that seemed to have captured the complex essence of Tsvetaeva's poetry, so I am more than grateful. I'm very fond of Russian literature so I believe I have found a safe place in Kneller's work.

My Poems Selected Poetry of Marina Tsvetaeva edition by Marina Tsvetaeva Andrey Kneller Literature Fiction eBooks Reviews
Great translation of beautiful poetry, reaching a non-Cyrillic reading audience it may have otherwise eluded. Keep up the good work, Kneller.
Tsvetaeva is one of those hidden gems for most people in the west. Compared often times to Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva even in translation maintains her edge. This makes for superb "breakup reading" and also material when on the mend. Quite a few people can only handle small doses. This edition is a perfect compliment to any book shelf.
Great book
I bought this edition primarily because the reviews hyped this new translation. I was disappointed by the translation - it may be competent but poetic or lyrically creative it was not. I'm sorry to be so critical, but I ended up comparing this translation with Feinstein's (also not the greatest, I thought), and asking more qualified "reviewers" (Russian speakers, ideally Russian speaking lit professors) and found a third solution. Translation is tricky and will never be a substitute or equivalent of the original. I know that.
No comments.
Depressing. Just what I expect from poets.
A lovely little introduction to Marina Tsvetaeva's poetry, beautifully translated by Andrey Kneller. The only thing missing that would make it perfect are more comprehensive notes on the poems, but on the bright side, if -like me- you find yourself curious, perhaps you'll pick up a biography on Tsvetaeva.
This is the second of Andrey Kneller's translations of Russian poetry I've read, the first being a collection of poetry by Anna Akhmatova. In both editions, you get the Russian original and the English translation nearly side by side, and although my Russian these days is no longer fluid enough for an actual comparison, I get the strong feeling that the atmosphere and feeling of each poem is as perfectly preserved as possible.
