Terrific versions of some great Russian poems

Very good translations of the great, hard-to-translate Russian poet. The six long poems that comprise the collection, On a Red Steed, Poem of the Mountain, An Attempt at a Room, Poem of the End, New Year's Greetings, and Poem of the Air, retain the compressed power of Tsvetaeva's short poems. Tsvetaeva's tormented spirit shines through. There is also good selection of Tsvetaeva's short poems in the back. A must read for all who love modern Russian poetry.
