A delightful story for kids that can work for adults too: it certainly won't bore the parents reading it to their child. A modern fairytale, with all the elements of a traditional fairytale but without the dark features the original fairytales had in ...more |

"This is an extraordinary poetical work--everything, I think, poems can be.
Nina Kossman is an accomplished NYC-based and thoroughly bilingual poet (and artist, and sculptor)--her first language is Russian and her second first language is English. She " Read more of this review » |

"I loved reading this book of translations of Marina Tsvetaeva’s poems paired with Nina Kossman’s ( the translator’s ) own poems. What a wonderful and courageous idea!"

“This is my song for Gabriel,
The Angel of the Word,
I've sung to you so many times,
This time I may be heard.
I sing to you from fellowship,
Past times I sang alone,
But now I can extend my love
To wood and air and stone.
Your golden wings have cradled me,
Your voice has made me kneel,
Your actions turn the universe,
Your wisdom spins the wheel.
This is my song for Abraham,
The shepherd of mankind,
You led your tribe out from Canaan,
And none were left behind.
O, come, fulfil your prophecies,
And say the war is won,
Must I wait in vales of visions,
And leave my song undone?”
― Angel War
