He was one of the "Children of the '60s," a new wave of iconic Soviet intellectuals led by the Khrushchev Thaw. Voznesensky was considered "one of the most daring writers of the Soviet era" but his style often led to regular criticism from his contemporaries and he was once threatened with expulsion by Nikita Khrushchev. He performed poetry readings in front of sold-out stadiums around the world, and was much admired for his skilled delivery. Some of his poetry was translated into English by W. H. Auden. Voznesensky's long-serving mentor and muse was Boris Pasternak, the Nobel Laureate and the author of Doctor Zhivago. Before his death, he was both critically and popularly proclaimed "a living classic", and "an icon of Soviet intellectuals"'. (Wiki) ***A nice bright collector's copy of the much scarcer hardcover issue of this work. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.***.

Dust jacket supplied: printed in black, illustrated and lettered in blue, yellow, green and white: wear and chipping to spine ends, some rubbing, nicking and spotting, short closed tear to top of front panel. Good/ good+ A well-handled contemporary poetic association copy of the first US edition of Elizabeth Bishop's translation of the diary of a Brazilian girl in the "far-off" provincial diamond-mining town, Diamantina: the American poet, William Jay Smith's copy. A near contemporary and a fellow prize-winning American poet, William Jay Smith (19182015) also followed Bishop in being appointed Consultant in Poetry to the Library of Congress, 1968-1970 (the nineteenth appointee; Bishop was eighth, serving 1949-50). He later described her as a "tutelary spirit," alongside Edwin Arlington Robinson, Marianne Moore, Theodore Roethke and Louise Bogan; Smith had first come across Bishop's poetry as a college freshman in 1935, and, like Bishop (and Moore), he "adore[d] particulars and exact observation" and "emphasize[d] wit and the skillful use of traditional forms" (Frank, 1998). He was not, however, a fan of her prose, observing much later in a CPR interview: "Elizabeth Bishop wrote a few essays but they were much inferior stylistically to her poems. It was clear that she had devoted less time and attention to them than she had to her poems"; sadly, no notes or marginalia feature here to hint at his thoughts on her work as a translator. We do, however, have Bishop's thoughts on Smith's translation of Jules Laforgue (and the impossibility of translating poetry); her mostly favourable review, 'The Manipulation of Mirrors,' had been published the year before in New Republic. A Brazilian literary favourite, which had been repeatedly recommended to Bishop, in her introduction the poet likens sections to Chaucer and "Wordsworth's poetical children and country people, or Dorothy Wordsworth's wandering beggars," whilst "occasionally entries referring to slavery seemed like notes for an unwritten, Brazilian, feminine version of Tom Sawyer". It did not sell well, nor bring in the income for which Bishop had wished. MacMahon A4; Elizabeth Frank (1998) 'The Pleasures of Formal Poetry,' The Atlantic; CRP Interview.
