A must for all lovers of poetry,
This review is from: The Voronezh Notebooks: Poems 1935-1937 (Paperback)
The discovery of Mandelstam is one of that strange gifts that Life give us every since in a while and this is probably his very best book. He wrote these poems under a terrible personal experience being a prisoner of Stalin's camps and being sure he'd die very soon. These poems, and this poet, are not an easy ones but once you have entered into you feel that they are so rich that you can't almost bear it. For those who don't have read any of his poetry i'd recommend to start reading the book"Hope against hope" that his wife wrote about those years of sorrow. OM has been essential in the poetry of the second half of this century and you can follow his traces in poets of the importance of Paul Celan and Edmond Jabès.
