The Word That Causes Death's Defeat by Anna Akhmatova
Sensitive new translations of Akhmatova's great long poems that document both intense personal suffering and cataclysmic national tragedy“The importance of Akhmatova’s works in the Russian poetic tradition can scarcely be exaggeratedThese works also hold a place of honor in the history of artistic engagement of moral responsibility.”—Olga P. Hasty, Princeton University
“Akhmatova is fortunate indeed to have won the attention of such a gifted translator and scholar. Anderson has succeeded in producing quite literally the best English-language translations of Akhmatova’s long poems.”—Susan Amert, University of Delaware
Nancy K. Anderson is an independent scholar. She is a highly regarded translator of Russian poetry, including Yale University Press’s translation of Alexander Pushkin’s Little Tragedies, and has taught courses in Russian, Tolstoy, and Dostoevsky at Yale University.
