Just Okay

Wondrous Moment: Selected PoetryWondrous Moment: Selected Poetry by Alexander Pushkin

My rating: 2 of 5 stars


Again, not being able to read the Russian, I can only go by the translation–the poetry seems very much of its time, somewhat pedestrian Romantic verse. There is little in the way of striking imagery or new eyes on the world. The collection is a decent selection of Pushkin’s love and political poetry.
