Major collection by a contemporary Russian avantgarde masterThe poet Arkadii Dragomoshchenko made his debut in underground magazines in the late Soviet period, and developed an elliptic, figural style with affinities to Moscow metarealism, although he lived in what was then Leningrad. Endarkenment brings together revisions of selected translations by Lyn Hejinian and Elena Balashova from his previous American titles, long out of print, with translations of new work carried out by Genya Turovskaya, Bela Shayevich, Jacob Edmond, and Eugene Ostashevsky. This chronological arrangement of Dragomoshchenkos writing represents the heights of his imaginative poetry and fragmentary lyricism from perestroika to the time of his death. His languagealthough perpetually incomplete and shifting in meaningremains fresh and transformative, exhibiting its roots in Russian Modernism and its openness to the poets Language School contemporaries in the United States. The collection is a crucial English introduction to Dragomoshchenkos work. It is also bilingual, with Russian texts that are otherwise hard to obtain. It also includes a foreword by Lyn Hejinian, an essay on how the poetry reads in Russian, a biography, and a list of publications.
