Читаем Горянка полностью

Поспешные годы исправноИ неудержимо летят.Я снова приехал недавноВ аул, где жила Асият.Иду. Зеленеет лужайка,Забавна на ней и мила,Дошкольного возраста стайкаВниманье мое привлекла.Смотрю на детей. И кого-тоНапомнила девочка мне,Что с куклою вполоборотаСтояла чуть-чуть в стороне.Открой-ка мне, память, свой терем:Где видел я эти черты?Постой… Вспоминаю… Проверим:«Скажи мне, чья, девочка, ты?Иль, может, ты угол платочка,Иль, может, кровинка зари?»«Я мамина с папою дочка».«А как твое имя?» — «Шахри».«Где мама твоя?» — «На работе».«Что делает?» — «Учит ребят».«Скажи мне, а где вы живете?»«У бабушки, у Хадижат».Стою, как на плотном матрасе:Трава под ногами густа.Я дочке Юсупа и АсиХочу пожелать неспроста:Будь в жизни на маму похожейИ нравом, Шахри, и душой.Стань первой красавицей тожеИ умницей самой большой.Как мама, живи не робея,Ставь честность превыше всего.Еще пожелаю тебе я:Будь дочкой отца своего.Отзывчивой будь и сердечной,Не дрогни и в трудном бою.Любовью люби долговечной,Как любит он маму твою.Шахри, и тебя уже где-тоЖдет юность под небом родным,И если не мною воспета,То будешь воспета другим!1956

The Voice Over
The Voice Over

Maria Stepanova is one of the most powerful and distinctive voices of Russia's first post-Soviet literary generation. An award-winning poet and prose writer, she has also founded a major platform for independent journalism. Her verse blends formal mastery with a keen ear for the evolution of spoken language. As Russia's political climate has turned increasingly repressive, Stepanova has responded with engaged writing that grapples with the persistence of violence in her country's past and present. Some of her most remarkable recent work as a poet and essayist considers the conflict in Ukraine and the debasement of language that has always accompanied war. *The Voice Over* brings together two decades of Stepanova's work, showcasing her range, virtuosity, and creative evolution. Stepanova's poetic voice constantly sets out in search of new bodies to inhabit, taking established forms and styles and rendering them into something unexpected and strange. Recognizable patterns... Maria Stepanova is one of the most powerful and distinctive voices of Russia's first post-Soviet literary generation. An award-winning poet and prose writer, she has also founded a major platform for independent journalism. Her verse blends formal mastery with a keen ear for the evolution of spoken language. As Russia's political climate has turned increasingly repressive, Stepanova has responded with engaged writing that grapples with the persistence of violence in her country's past and present. Some of her most remarkable recent work as a poet and essayist considers the conflict in Ukraine and the debasement of language that has always accompanied war. The Voice Over brings together two decades of Stepanova's work, showcasing her range, virtuosity, and creative evolution. Stepanova's poetic voice constantly sets out in search of new bodies to inhabit, taking established forms and styles and rendering them into something unexpected and strange. Recognizable patterns of ballads, elegies, and war songs are transposed into a new key, infused with foreign strains, and juxtaposed with unlikely neighbors. As an essayist, Stepanova engages deeply with writers who bore witness to devastation and dramatic social change, as seen in searching pieces on W. G. Sebald, Marina Tsvetaeva, and Susan Sontag. Including contributions from ten translators, The Voice Over shows English-speaking readers why Stepanova is one of Russia's most acclaimed contemporary writers. Maria Stepanova is the author of over ten poetry collections as well as three books of essays and the documentary novel In Memory of Memory. She is the recipient of several Russian and international literary awards. Irina Shevelenko is professor of Russian in the Department of German, Nordic, and Slavic at the University of Wisconsin–Madison. With translations by: Alexandra Berlina, Sasha Dugdale, Sibelan Forrester, Amelia Glaser, Zachary Murphy King, Dmitry Manin, Ainsley Morse, Eugene Ostashevsky, Andrew Reynolds, and Maria Vassileva.
