Певец-Давид был ростом мал,Но повалил же Голиафа,Кот<орый> был и генерал,И, положусь, не про<ще> гр<афа>.

ПРОЗЕРПИНА.

Плещут волны Флегетона,Своды тартара дрожат,Кони бледного ПлутонаБыстро к нимфам ПелионаИз аида бога мчат.Вдоль пустынного заливаПрозерпина вслед за ним,Равнодушна и ревнива,Потекла путем одним,Пред богинею коленаРобко юноша склонил.И богиням льстит измена:Прозерпине смертный мил.Ада гордая царицаВзором юношу зовет,Обняла — и колесницаУж к аиду их несет:Мчатся, облаком одеты;Видят вечные луга,Элизей и томной ЛетыУсыпленные брега.Там бессмертье, там забвенье,Там утехам нет конца.Прозерпина в упоенье,Без порфиры и венца,Повинуется желаньям,Предает его лобзаньямСокровенные красы,В сладострастной неге тонетИ молчит и томно стонет…Но бегут любви часы;Плещут волны Флегетона,Своды тартара дрожат:Кони бледного ПлутонаБыстро мчат его назад.И Кереры дочь уходит,И счастливца за собойИз элизия выводитПотаенною тропой:И счастливец отпираетОсторожною рукойДверь, откуда вылетаетСновидений ложный рой.

<ИЗ ПИСЬМА К ВУЛЬФУ.>

Здравствуй, Вульф, приятель мой!Приезжай сюда зимой,Да Языкова поэтаЗатащи ко мне с собойПогулять верхом порой,Пострелять из пистолета.Лайон, мой курчавый брат(Не Михайловской приказчик),Привезет нам, право, клад…Что? — бутылок полный ящик.Запируем уж, молчи!Чудо — жизнь анахорета!В Троегорском до ночи,А в Михайловском до света;Дни любви посвящены,Ночью царствуют стаканы,Мы же — то смертельно пьяны,То мертвецки влюблены.

К ЯЗЫКОВУ.

(Михайловское,1824)

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.
