Along with Voznesensky and Yevtushenko, Akhmadulina is one of the celebrities of contemporary Soviet poetry. An accomplished prosodist, she draws on Russia's rich poetic tradition, from Pushkin to Akhmatova. Akhmadulina is known for her masterly use of various styles of diction, employing archaisms, slang, and neologisms. The translations in this bilingual edition attempt to replicate the vocabulary, meter, and rhyme of the originals, with mixed results. The translator has captured the poet's distinctive voice, but too often the awkward syntax and word choice muddles the sense ("Earth's nudeness overheated/ . . . Terrified, the weather bureau forecast/ no precipitation forevermore"). However, given Akhmadulina's stature, this volume is worth acquiring for poetry and Russian literature collections.
