    Cambridge University Press 0521004934 - The Cambridge Introduction to Russian Poetry - Michael Wachtel Excerpt More information Introduction Поэ´т – издaлeкa´ зaво´дит рe´чь. Поэ´тa – дaлeко´ зaво´дит рe´чь. цвeтaeвa, «Поэ´ты» The poet brings language from afar. Language brings the poet far. Tsvetaeva, “Poets” When poets read their works aloud, we may not understand every word, but we immediately recognize that their intonation differs from that of everyday speech. This “unnatural” declamation often causes confusion among those who first encounter it. “Why don’t they just read it normally?” one is tempted to ask. The reason is simple: poets want to set their speech off from everyday language. Individual poets vary widely in the degree of “unnaturalness” they introduce to their readings, but in virtually all cases their goal is the same: to destabilize the familiar world of their listeners, to make them hear anew. All of us, poets or not, alter our tone of voice and choice of words in accordance with specific circumstances. We speak differently with our par- ents than with our peers, we address the auto mechanic differently than the policeman, we speak differently when giving a toast than we do when calling for an ambulance. In many life situations, what might be called the prosaic attitude toward language dominates. Our object is to relay information as quickly and unambiguously as possible. At other times, getting the point across is not enough; it is essential to do so convincingly and fervently. We select our words carefully and consciously organize them. In this case, we are not necessarily creating poetry, but it is fair to say that we are moving in the direction of poetry.

  • Toronto Slavic Quarterly. № 33. Summer 2010
    Michael Basker The Trauma of Exile: An Extended Analysis of Khodasevich’s ‘Sorrentinskie Fotografii’ What exile from himself can flee Byron1 It is widely accepted that the deaths in August 1921 of Aleksandr Blok and Nikolai Gumilev, the one ill for months and denied until too late the necessary papers to leave Russia for treatment, the other executed for complicity in the so-called Tag- antsev conspiracy, marked a practical and symbolic turning point in the relations between Russian writers and thinkers and the new regime. In the not untypical assessment of Vladislav Khoda- sevich’s long-term partner in exile, Nina Berberova: …that August was a boundary line. An age had begun with the ‘Ode on the Taking of Khotin’ (1739) and had ended with Au- gust 1921: all that came afer (for still a few years) was only the continuation of this August: the departure of Remizov and Bely abroad, the departure of Gorky, the mass exile of the intelligent- sia in the summer of 1922, the beginning of planned repres- sions, the destruction of two generations — I am speaking of a two-hundred year period of Russian literature. I am not saying that it had all ended, but that an age of it had.2 © Maichael Basker, 2010 © TSQ 33. Summer 2010 (http://www.utoronto.ca/tsq/) 1 From ‘To Inez’, song inserted between stanzas lxxiv and lxxxv of Canto 1 of Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage. To avoid undue encumbrance of the extensive crit- ical apparatus, works of nineteenth and twentieth-century poetry by authors other than Khodasevich will generally be identified by title or first line, and cited without reference to the standard academic editions from which they have been taken.

  • The Literary Fate of Marina Tsve Taeva, Who in My View Is One Of
    A New Edition of the Poems of Marina Tsve taeva1 he literary fate of Marina Tsvetaeva, who in my view is one of the T most remarkable Russian poets of the twentieth century, took its ultimate shape sadly and instructively. The highest point of Tsve taeva’s popularity and reputation during her lifetime came approximately be- tween 1922 and 1926, i.e., during her first years in emigration. Having left Russia, Tsve taeva found the opportunity to print a whole series of collec- tions of poetry, narrative poems, poetic dramas, and fairy tales that she had written between 1916 and 1921: Mileposts 1 (Versty 1), Craft (Remes- lo), Psyche (Psikheia), Separation (Razluka), Tsar-Maiden (Tsar’-Devitsa), The End of Casanova (Konets Kazanovy), and others. These books came out in Moscow and in Berlin, and individual poems by Tsve taeva were published in both Soviet and émigré publications. As a mature poet Tsve- taeva appeared before both Soviet and émigré readership instantly at her full stature; her juvenile collections Evening Album (Vechernii al’bom) and The Magic Lantern (Volshebnyi fonar’) were by that time forgotten. Her success with readers and critics alike was huge and genuine. If one peruses émigré journals and newspapers from the beginning of the 1920s, one is easily convinced of the popularity of Marina Tsve taeva’s poetry at that period. Her writings appeared in the Russian journals of both Prague and Paris; her arrival in Paris and appearance in February 1925 before an overflowing audience for a reading of her works was a literary event. Soviet critics similarly published serious and sympathetic reviews.

Give Service a Fresh Look Jack Newell Raising money did not come naturally to me when I agreed to help restore the vitality of Deep Springs College in 1995 as the College's president. In fact, I blanched at the thought. Who was I to suggest someone else should give, even sacrifice greatly, for this cause? Sensing my conflict, Chuck Thompson, a veteran of such work, counseled me: "Jack, you will do older alumni a favor if you can enlist them in this cause. He went on: "They have been movers and shakers, but in retirement many miss their engagement in significant work. Invite our senior alumni to give of themselves or of their substance -- even to the point of stretching -- and they will invariably thank you!"

    Media Release: Thursday 18 th November ROXY MUSIC TO PLAY A DAY ON THE GREEN WITH ORIGINAL LINE UP INCLUDING THE LEGENDARY BRYAN FERRY With support from Nathan Haines Roundhouse Entertainment and Andrew McManus Presents is proud to announce that Roxy Music, consisting of vocalist Bryan Ferry, guitarist Phil Manzanera, saxophonist Andy Mackay and the great Paul Thompson on drums, are coming to New Zealand for one A Day On The Green show only at Villa Maria Estate Winery on Sunday 6 th March. Roxy Music will perform material from their entire catalogue including such hits as, Dance Away , Avalon , Let's Stick Together, Take A Chance With Me , Do the Strand , Angel Eyes , Oh Yeah , In the Midnight Hour , Jealous Guy, Love Is The Drug , More Than This and many more. Distinguished by their visual and musical sophistication and their preoccupation with style and glamour Roxy Music were highly influential, as leading proponents of the more experimental element of glam rock as well as a significant influence on early English punk music. They also provided a model for many new wave acts and the experimental electronic groups of the early 1980s. In 2004, Rolling Stone Magazine ranked Roxy Music on its list of the 100 Greatest Artists of All Time and the band are regarded as one of the most influential art-rock bands in music history. Roxy Music exploded onto the scene in 1972 with their progressive self-titled debut album. The sound challenged the constraints of pop music and was lauded by critics and popular among fans, peaking at #4 on the UK album charts.

  • Saul Tchernichowsky and Vladislav Khodasevich
    1 2 3 jÖrg schulte 5 saul tchernichowsky and Vladislav Khodasevich A chapter in Philological cooperation 10 When saul tchernichowsky arrived in berlin in december 1922, he was forty seven years old and at the hight of his creative strength.1 Within two years he pub- lished the Book of Idylls (sefer ha-idilyot), the Book of Sonnets (Ma½beret son- 15 etot) and the volume New Songs (shirim ½adashim). the irst to announce tch- ernichowsky’s arrival in berlin was his fellow poet iakov Kagan who wrote a long article for the russian journal Razsvet on january 14, 1923. Kagan revealed to his readers what tchernichowsky had told him about his yet unpublished works. he also reported that tchernichowsky had studied medieval hebrew medical manu- 20 scripts in the state library of st Petersburg (then Petrograd) and had been forced to leave a considerable part of his work behind when he led to odessa.2 We still do not have any trace of these materials. We know that in the company of ã. n. bialik, tchernichowsky attended the farewell concert of the russian songwriter Alexander Vertinsky at the scala theatre (in berlin) on november 7, 1923, and 3 25 was deeply impressed by the poet who sang his own verses. We also know that in the same year, he lived next door to the actress Miriam bernstein-cohen who, like himself, held a degree in medicine and translated from russian into he- brew.4 in her memoirs, Miriam bernstein-cohen notes that she introduced tch- ernichowsky to Aharon (Armand), Kaminka who had been the irst to translate 5 6 30 a part of the Iliad into hebrew in 1882.
