Akhmatova's love poem to her city". -Penguin Books | |

| Title: | The Word that Causes Death's Defeat: Poems of Memory | |
| Publisher: | Yale University Press | |
| Ed/Trans: | Edited by Nancy K. Robinson | |
| Pub. Date: | Fall 2004 | |
| H.C. ISBN: | 0300103778 | |
| Description: | Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966), one of twentieth-century Russia's greatest poets, was viewed as a dangerous element by post-Revolution authorities. One of the few unrepentant poets to survive the Bolshevik revolution and subsequent Stalinist purges, she set for herself the artistic task of preserving the memory of pre-Revolutionary cultural heritage and of those who had been silenced. This book presents Nancy K. Anderson's superb translations of three of Akhmatova's most important poems: "Requiem," a commemoration of the victims of Stalin's Terror; "The Way of All the Earth," a work to which the poet returned repeatedly over the last quarter-century of her life and which combines Old Russian motifs with the modernist search for a lost past; and "Poem Without a Hero," widely admired as the poet's magnum opus. -Yale University Press | |
