The Complete Poems of Anna Akhmatova

Intimate portrait of Russian life in lyrical verse.

If you're drawn to poetry that captures the human experience against the backdrop of historical turmoil, Akhmatova's complete poems are a treasury you won't want to miss.

It's a substantial read that offers a blend of poignant intimacy and grand historical narrative.

This reissued and revised printing features a new biographical essay as well as expanded notes to the poems, both by Roberta Reeder, project editor and author of Anna Akhmatova: Poet and Prophet (St. Martin's Press, 1994). Encyclopedic in scope, with more than 800 poems, 100 photographs, a historical chronology, index of first lines, and a bibliography. The Complete Poems will be the definitive English language collection of Akhmatova for many years to come.
