Solar Eclipse 1914 by Arseny Tarkovsky
Arseny Tarkovsky (1907-1989) is considered to be one of the most important Russian poets of the twentieth-century, yet his work is rarely encountered outside Russia. This selection of his verse, brilliantly translated in metre and rhyme by the late Peter Oram, aims to make his poetry more widely available to an English-language readership while the introduction by two eminent scholars of Russian literature sets it in its wider context.Arseny Alexandrovich Tarkovsky was born in the Ukrainian city of Elisavetgrad (now Kirovohrad) in 1907 and came to Moscow in 1923, where he worked as a journalist for a newspaper and published his first poetry. He was a well-known translator of Turkmen, Georgian, Armenian, Arabic, and other Asian poets by the late 1930s. From 1942 to 1944, he was a war journalist for the Soviet Army newspaper Battle Alarm, for which he was awarded the Order of the Red Star for gallantry. Before the Snow, Tarkovsky's first collection of his own poems, was published in 1962 when he was 55 years old and quickly sold out. When his son, the globally known filmmaker Andrei Tarkovsky, used some of his father's poetry in his films, his fame grew even more.
