Vladimir Mayakovsky: If the Stars Are Lit... Selected Works

A collection of selected poems and poems by Vladimir Mayakovsky about love, loneliness, revolution, and the human being in a rapidly changing world.

A thunderous rebel, a herald of the era, a singer of squares and streets, a bright representative of Russian futurism — and a delicate lyricist, Vladimir Mayakovsky entered the history of literature as an innovative poet who boldly experimented with rhythm, rhyme, imagery, and even the formatting of poetry.

In his work, every feeling, whether love, jealousy, friendship, or loneliness, is twisted to the limit, and behind the external roughness and sharpness lies a vulnerable heart, painful homelessness, and a soul wide open to the whole world.

The book includes selected poems from different years, as well as the poems "Cloud in Trousers," "Flute-Spine," "I Love," and others.
