This bilingual collection contains six of her acclaimed narrative poems, as well as a selection of lyrics, most translated into English for the first time. Tsvetaeva always regarded the narrative poem as her true challenge, and she created powerful and intensely original works in the genre. They can be seen as markers of various stages in her poetic development, ranging from the early, folk-accented On a Red Steed to the lyrical-confessional Poem of the Mountain and Poem of the End to the more metaphysical later poems, An Attempt at a Room, a beautiful requiem for Rainer Maria Rilke, New Year's Greetings, and Poem of the Air, a stirring celebration of Lindbergh's transatlantic flight and the quest for the soul's freedom.
