How many of them have fallen into this abyss... Poems. Poems. Prose.

"What kind of poetry do you write, Marina... You are an outrageously great poet," – wrote Boris Pasternak to Marina Tsvetaeva. Tsvetaeva's poetry seems to need no dry assessments: her precise, vivid verses resonate powerfully and passionately, organically combining resilience and straightforwardness with vulnerability and delicate femininity. The book includes the most famous poetic cycles and poems by M. Tsvetaeva, as well as diary entries, autobiographical prose, and essays.
