Marina Tsvetaeva belonged to no poetic school and acknowledged no literary influences—only human ones. She stood alone, ‘for all’ and ‘against all.’ A staggering temperament combined with extraordinary rhythmic variety defines Tsvetaeva’s lyric poetry. Disregarding the boundaries of convention, she infused her poetry with an elemental force. And, despite misunderstanding, loneliness, and a destitute, grueling existence, she always remained inwardly free. This volume collects poems and longer poetic works by Marina Tsvetaeva spanning her lifetime.
