Fites
Poeta del foc, psique russa, sibil· Tsvetàieva no admet cap etiqueta perquè en crea una de pròpia. No accepta lleis ni en l’escriptura ni en l’ per a ella, vida i literatura signifiquen la mateixa cosa ―un apassionament lliure i fervorós. Els dos reculls de poemes que componen les Fites, publicats ara en català per primer cop, es van escriure entre 1916 i 1920: entre el darrer any de la Rússia tsarista, les revolucions de febrer i octubre del 1917, la precarietat immediatament posterior i la mort per desnutrició d’Irina, la segona filla de la poeta. Les Fites representen l’inici de la maduresa literària de Tsvetàieva, la seva entrada al panorama de recitals i el reconeixement per part de la crítica i dels companys de l’Edat de Akhmàtova, Pasternak, Mandelstam, Balmont... La poeta desplega un imaginari complex i personal, en el qual amor i amistat, maternitat i infantesa, ciutat i ruralia, tradició ortodoxa i màgia gitana, somnis i quotidianitat, i desig hi conviuen enllaçats pel vincle ancestral de la poesia i la música. Prohibida a la Unió Soviètica fins a vint anys després de la seva mort, Marina Ivànovna Tsvetàieva (Moscou, 1892 ̶ Ielàbuga, 1941) és una de les grans poetes de la història de la literatura i una veu inclassificable. D’adolescent, pogué estudiar i viatjar per Europa i, a divuit anys, s’autoedità el primer recull de poemes. Però el moment polític la condemnà a la precarietat i l’alienació: s’exilià primer a Praga, després a París i tornà a l’URSS l’any 1939. Allà se suïcidà a quaranta-vuit anys, després de ser evacuada de Moscou a causa de l’entrada de l’exèrcit nazi. Malgrat el seu periple, ens llegà una obra vasta i particularíssima, que inclou poesia, prosa, teatre, assaig, dietaris, correspondència, i traduccions de Rilke, Baudelaire o Lorca.

Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva was born in Moscow. Her father, Ivan Tsvetaev, was a professor of art history and the founder of the Museum of Fine Arts. Her mother Mariya, née Meyn, was a talented concert pianist. The family travelled a great deal and Tsvetaeva attended schools in Switzerland, Germany, and at the Sorbonne, Paris. Tsvetaeva started to write verse in her early childhood. She made her debut as a poet at the age of 18 with the collection Evening Album, a tribute to her childhood.
In 1912 Tsvetaeva married Sergei Efron, they had two daughters and one son. Magic Lantern showed her technical mastery and was followed in 1913 by a selection of poems from her first collections. Tsvetaeva's affair with the poet and opera librettist Sofiia Parnok inspired her cycle of poems called Girlfriend. Parnok's career stopped in the late 1920s when she was no longer allowed to publish. The poems composed between 1917 and 1921 appeared in 1957 under the title The Demesne of the Swans. Inspired by her relationship with Konstantin Rodzevich, an ex-Red Army officer she wrote Poem of the Mountain and Poem of the End.
After 1917 Revolution Tsvetaeva was trapped in Moscow for five years. During the famine one of her own daughters died of starvation. Tsvetaeva's poetry reveals her growing interest in folk song and the techniques of the major symbolist and poets, such as Aleksander Blok and Anna Akhmatova. In 1922 Tsvetaeva emigrated with her family to Berlin, where she rejoined her husband, and then to Prague. This was a highly productive period in her life - she published five collections of verse and a number of narrative poems, plays, and essays.
During her years in Paris Tsvetaeva wrote two parts of the planned dramatic trilogy. The last collection published during her lifetime, After Russia, appeared in 1928. Its print, 100 numbered copies, were sold by special subscription. In Paris the family lived in poverty, the income came almost entirely from Tsvetaeva's writings. When her husband started to work for the Soviet security service, the Russian community of Paris turned against Tsvetaeva. Her limited publishing ways for poetry were blocked and she turned to prose. In 1937 appeared MOY PUSHKIN, one of Tsvetaeva's best prose works. To earn extra income, she also produced short stories, memoirs and critical articles.
In exile Tsvetaeva felt more and more isolated. Friendless and almost destitute she returned to the Soviet Union in 1938, where her son and husband already lived. Next year her husband was executed and her daughter was sent to a labor camp. Tsvetaeva was officially ostracized and unable to publish. After the USSR was invaded by German Army in 1941, Tsvetaeva was evacuated to the small provincial town of Elabuga with her son. In despair, she hanged herself ten days later on August 31, 1941.

No hi he acabat de conectar. No soc un lector gaire habital de poesia. Alguns poemes m'han arribat, però d'altres no entenc ni les imatges ni el ritme. Segurament em caldria més bagatge per a gaudir-los.

Poemes molt propers, fàcils de llegir i alguns amb un significat cultural molt potent. Ocultisme, nacionalitat, maternitat, cultura gitana... De tot i ben tocat.
Les notes ajuden molt si no tens nocions de cultura rusa/folklore ucraïnès.

marina tsvetàieva és una poetessa fascinant amb una història marca per la tragèdia, però sobretot per la passió. un poemari que deixa petjada amb cada vers, amb símbols que amb la seva iteració et dibuixen una imatge. si us agrada annie ernaux us agradarà marina tsvetàieva

no per retenir ningú;llavis-per posar noms,
ulls-no per mirar per sobre l'arc de les celles altes-
per admirar tendrament l'amor i-amb més tendresa
-el no-amor."
