More about the book

Exploring profound themes of anguish and alienation, this collection showcases Marina Tsvetaeva's lyrical mastery through evocative imagery and technical experimentation. The poem sequence 'Trees' reflects her affection for the Bohemian landscape, while 'Wires' symbolizes the emotional and geographical distance from Boris Pasternak. Tsvetaeva's work captures her struggles with suicidal thoughts and a deep sense of exclusion from love and companionship, marking a poignant high point in her poetic output.
