  <default_description>&lt;P&gt;This selection of Mayakovsky's work covers his entire career -- from the earliest pre-revolutionary lyrics to a poem found in a notebook after his suicide. Splendid translations of the poems, with the Russian on a facing page, and a fresh, colloquial version of Mayakovsky's dramatic masterpiece, The Bedbug.&lt;/P&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Vladimir Mayakovsky (1893-1930) was a Russian poet and dramatist who had a powerful influence on the writers of his day.  He initially supported the aims and programs of Bolshevism – in addition to writing serious poetry he created many propaganda posters – and traveled widely outside Russia, bu...<a href="http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/51826046">more...</a>]]></body>

    <body><![CDATA[Mayakovsky is notoriously difficult to translate, so I have little to say of the translation.  Many older compilations suffer from an excessive focus on his Soviet themed odes to Lenin and the revolution.  This book has an entirely appropriate focus on his lyric poetry and his love poems.
