Vladimir Mayakovsky by Vladimir Mayakovsky
This groundbreaking collection draws together for the first time Vladimir Mayakovsky s key translators from the 1930s to the present day, bringing some remarkable works back into print in the process and introducing poems which have never before been translated. The radical scope of its representation makes for the most comprehensive account of Mayakovsky s work to date an account which charts not only the extraordinary range of his creative output, but also the fascinating and turbulent history of Mayakovsky s cultural and political representation in the western world.
"His poetry, full of neologisms, punchy metaphors, original imagery, syncopated rhythm and staccato lines, stuns the reader with its energy and self-confidence and shouts across the years" Spectator (2015); "Mayakovsky, the whirlwind Russian who composed grandiose, sprawling poems about revolution, romantic love, the Soviet Union and himself ... a captivating, contradictory, frustrating human being. Who would not want to go and read his works?" Telegraph (2015)
Mayakovsky, one of the greatest 20th-century poets and playwrights, was a key participant in the Russian cultural revolution and remained influential throughout Communism. He took his own life.
