Polina Barskova
Melville House Publishing (2011)
Co-translated from the Russian with Boris Dralyuk Opulent, playful, and sensual, Polina Barskova's poems have earned her a reputation as the finest Russian poet under forty. While steeped in Russian and classical culture, Barskova's work remains unmistakably contemporary, at once classic and edgy—always fresh, new and even startling.
