"The earlier poems are heavy in the Peterburg Classical--many Greek referents... but then, by 1918, the pressure of the events of his day began to edit the classical allusions from the poems, they became stronger and more direct. It wasn't an easy place to be, but it let his poetry find is true soil, its unmitigated subject. A wonderful translation, stunning, shattering work."
