The Golden Grove Has Spoken... New Peasant Poetry

The anthology "The Golden Grove Has Spoken..." includes selected poems by poets of the new peasant school—one of the most interesting poetic movements of the Silver Age. The works of Sergey Yesenin and his like-minded contemporaries reflect both the aspirations of the then "popular intelligentsia" and the sadness over the departing Russia. The book includes not only poems included in school and university literature curricula but also little-known texts presented to a wide audience for the first time. This carefully compiled anthology offers an opportunity to get acquainted with the works of Nikolai Klyuev, Sergey Klychkov, Pyotr Oreshin, and other bright representatives of the new peasant poetry movement.
