it was amazing

By far the absolute best translations of Tsvetaeva I've ever seen. Everything matches the original: meaning, form, sound, rhythm, rhyme, actually good poetry... You get the point. This should be the definitive translation. No translation is ever perfect, but this one is like 99.44% faithful.
It's a good sample of her work as well: 67 poems ranging from 1909 to 1938. The progression of her style is pretty well represented.

Andrey Kneller :) Thank you Kate, I'm so happy you enjoyed my work. I've translated quite a lot of other Russian poets as well, if you're interested. Let me know if you have any questions or further comments. Also, if you have a chance, I'd really appreciate it if you could post this review on amazon as well. It's hard to get recognized as an indie author/translator and reviews are always helpful. All the best,

Sincerely,

Andrey Kneller
