Sinopsis

After Russia (1928) is considered to mark the high point in Marina Tsvetaeva&rsquo,s output of shorter, lyrical poems. Tsvetaeva told Boris Pasternak that all that mattered in the book was its anguish. Breathtaking technical mastery and experimentation are underpinned by suicidal thoughts, a sense of exclusion from the circle of human love and companionship, and an increasing alienation from life itself. The sequence &lsquo,Trees&rsquo,áevokes the hills and woods of Bohemia where Tsvetaeva loved to roam, while &lsquo,Wires&rsquo, takes telegraph wires as the central image for the geographical distance separating her from Pasternak.
