ANTIWORLDS: Andrei Voznesensky

by ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 27, 1966

Voznesensky is Russia's foremost modern poet who is becoming more and more familiar here: earlier this spring Herbert Marshall translated a group of his poems (Hill & Wang- p. 287) and he has recently been in the U.S. for readings of his poetry before academic audiences and on television. Not only his themes have a great range but also his use of language, so that he presents a problem to his translators--in this case a collaboration of some of our finest poets, Auden, Jean Garrigue, Stanley Kunitz, Stanley Moss, William Jay Smith, Richard Wilbur and editor Hayward. There is an introduction by the editors, and a foreword by Auden (which appeared as a lead piece in a recent issue of the New York Review of Books). This unquestionably will be the prestige presentation of Voznesensky's work.
