Stolen Air: Selected Poems of Osip Mandelstam

Stolen Air: Selected Poems of Osip Mandelstam – Important Twentieth-Century Russian Verse from a Political Non-Conformist Who Defied Stalin

Osip Mandelstam was perhaps the most important Russian poet of the nineteen-hundredsâ‚¬"aÂ crucial instigator of the â‚¬Å“revolution of the wordâ‚¬Â that took place in early twentieth-century St. Petersburg and a political non-conformist who earned the enmity of Stalin and his totalitarian regime. With Stolen Air, Christian Wiman, editor of POETRY, Americaâ‚¬s oldest and most prestigious magazine of verse, offers a new selection and translation of Mandelstamâ‚¬s poetryâ‚¬"from his hard-edged and highly formal early poems to his almost savagely musical later worksâ‚¬"for a new generation to be moved by, marvel at, and appreciate.
