Relative Genitive: Poems with translations from Osip Mandelstam and Vladimir Mayakovsky

Relative Genitive: Poems with translations from Osip Mandelstam and Vladimir Mayakovsky

$18.00 $0.00

Author: Val Vinokur, Osip Mandelstam, Vladimir Mayakovsky

Translator: Val Vinokur

Publisher: Poets and Traitors Press (2018)

In Relative Genitive, Val Vinokur translates two of the great Russian poets of the early twentieth century: the Acmeist neo-classicist Osip Mandelstam and the Futurist revolutionary Vladimir Mayakovsky. This unlikely combination is elegantly woven together by the thread of Vinokur’s own poems, echoing the sound and spirit of the poets he has translated, and collapsing the distance between high culture and low, beauty and wreckage, origin and destination.
