- Summary
- "In her homeland of Russia, Polina Barskova is considered one of the most accomplished and daring of the younger poets. Born in 1976 in Leningrad--now called St. Petersburg, as before - she began publishing poems in journals at age nine and released the first of her six books as a teenager. She came to the United States at the age of twenty to pursue a Ph.D. at the University of California, Berkeley, having already earned a graduate degree in classical literature at the state university in St. Petersburg. Barskova now teaches at Hampshire College in Amherst, Massachusetts. This is the first book of her poems to be published in English translation. Editor and translator Ilya Kaminsky was born in Odessa, Ukraine, and is author of a bestselling book of poems, Dancing in Odessa (Tupelo, 2004), and co-editor of The Ecco Anthology of International Poetry (HarperCollins, 2010). He teaches at San Diego State University and the New England College MFA Program in Poetry."--BOOK JACKET.
