Summary

"Larissa Miller is one of Russia's most highly-regarded writers - novelist, essayist and poet - and this selection from her collection Between the Cloud and the Pit (1999) spans her poetic output from the 1960s to the millennium." "Guests of Eternity is a presentation, in chronological order, of poems written (but not published) in the three decades preceding glasnost as well as the final decade of the twentieth century. Here are political poems from the '70s and '80s which speak openly about the horrors of the Soviet system, others which comment directly on purges and torture, and yet more which convey the struggle to grow and mature with one's soul intact in a world of suffering. Yet throughout this book, as Sasha Dugdale points out in her introduction, there are moments of hope, of a spiritual - even religious - dimension that afford glimpses of a transcendent world and bring peace of mind to the beleaguered soul."--Jacket
