"Mackey's raspy rebus-like cultural resurfacings are both beautiful to read and worthy of repeated efforts at comprehension." -Publishers Weekly

A major influence on American poets of the twentieth century, Mayakovsky’s work remains fascinating and urgent. Very few English translations have come close to capturing his lyric intensity, and a comprehensive volume of his writings has not been published in the past thirty years. In Night Wraps the Sky, the acclaimed filmmaker Michael Almereyda (Hamlet, William Eggleston in the Real World) presents Mayakovsky’s key poems—translated by a new generation of Russian-American poets—alongside memoirs, artistic appreciations, and eyewitness accounts, written and pictorial, to create a full-length portrait of the man and the mythic era he came to embody.</div></div>]]> 54536 4.09 690 50 2008 164826 071470492X 9780714704920 2 <![CDATA[Poems]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/164826.Poems 4.34 29 54536 4.09 690 50 118417 0828531382 9780828531382 1 <![CDATA[Vladimir Mayakovsky]]> http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-111x148.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/images/nocover-60x80.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/118417.Vladimir_Mayakovsky 4.05 21 54536 4.09 690 50 1985 190905 5699161465 0 <![CDATA[Stikhotvoreniia i poemy.]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172555075m/190905.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172555075s/190905.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/190905.Stikhotvoreniia_i_poemy_ 4.32 19 54536 4.09 690 50 3106289 4.40 30 0 2006 1050553 0712346694 9780712346696 0 <![CDATA[For the Voice]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180527046m/1050553.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1180527046s/1050553.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/1050553.For_the_Voice 4.19 16 For the Voice, first published in 1923, has long been recognized as one of the finest achievements of Russian avant-garde bookmaking, a tradition in which poets and artists collaborated to create books that attained the status of art objects. By any reckoning, For the Voice is a landmark event in the history of modern graphic design. The book was inspired by the "new optics," where ideas are given form through printed letters, turning them into pictorial signs, and by "words that are seen and not heard," as Lissitzky wrote.

This three-volume slipcased set consists of a facsimile volume that is faithful to the original in size, color, weight, and paper quality; a translation by Peter France of the original text; and Voices of Revolution, a collection of critical essays that analyze the character and significance of the original publication and describe the inner workings of the poet's "construction in sound" complemented by the designer's "constructions for the eye."]]> 54536 4.09 690 50 242976 4.16 19 0 2000 164806 1933382767 9781933382760 2 <![CDATA[Bugs!: Three Plays by Vladimir Mayakovsky]]> http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172338744m/164806.jpg http://photo.goodreads.com/books/1172338744s/164806.jpg http://www.goodreads.com/book/show/164806.Bugs_Three_Plays_by_Vladimir_Mayakovsky 3.82 17 The three plays of this volume-A Tragedy (reproduced in the original typography), The Bathtub, and Bugs!-give strong testament to the great Russian poet and playwright's joyous satiric writing and Paul Schmidt's skills as a translator. Along with other Russian futurists, Vladimir Mayakovsky changed Russian literature and influenced world writing.

Touring America, by way of an enforced sojourn in Mexico, Russian poet and indefatigable traveler Vladimir Mayakovsky was able to observe firsthand what he considered to be the model for Soviet development. Although ideologically at odds with much of American culture, and taking every opportunity to propound his own political beliefs en route, he delighted in the creativity and advancement he saw, believing it to be the future for mankind. His impressions, presented here in full for the first time in English, form an inspired collection of sketches, thoughts, jottings, and poems. Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893-1930) was the foremost poet of the Russian Revolution of 1917 and one of the founders of Russia's Futurism movement.
