Solar Eclipse 1914 - Selected Poems

Arseny Tarkovsky (1907-1989) is considered to be one of the most important Russian poets of the twentieth-century, yet his work is rarely encountered outside Russia. This selection of his verse, brilliantly translated in metre and rhyme by the late Peter Oram, aims to make his poetry more widely available to an English-language readership while the introduction by two eminent scholars of Russian literature sets it in its wider context.
