My only complaint is that Boris Dralyuk stopped at 10; he is clearly a man with a fine ear for good poetry and it would have been useful to have him as a guide through another 50, another 100 pieces by the Russian greats. Pushkin and Lermontov are followed by the ageless quartet of PasternakAkhmatovaMandelstamTsvetaeva, but Dralyuk also takes time to dig up the work of lesser known dissidents like Kazarnovsky (one of the last to have seen Osip M. alive) and emigres like Ivanov and Nemirovskaya.
Mellifluous anthology!
