This publication includes poems and poems by Vladimir Mayakovsky, an outstanding poet of the 20th century, one of the leaders of the Russian avant-garde. Mayakovsky, who 'equated the pen with a bayonet,' became the voice of the revolution and a symbol of the Soviet era. Tsvetaeva called him 'the world's first poet of the masses ... the first Russian poet and orator.' And, like any great poet, he outgrew his time: Mayakovsky's work - no matter what debate it is today - is in demand by new generations of readers, his life in art has been long.
