The book is bilingual and thus open to further interpretation for those who frequent both languages. Pick up this book & fill your skull.” —steve dalachinsky, author of The Final Nite “The Russian poet, Mayakovsky, is central to his country’s literary history. Jenny Wade’s translations of his marvelous, yet down to earth, poems are a marvel in themselves. This is an important book—highly recommended!” —Ron Kolm, author of Night Shift “Jenny Wade has superbly captured the plangent Whitmanesque rhythms of Mayakovsky, written on the wing, on the fly, on the loose, ‘a cloud in trousers.’ The clarity of Wade’s supple translation and explanatory footnotes make this a timely addition to the canon of poetic voices that now, more than ever, need to be heard.” —Max Blagg, author of Slow DazzleWe have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
