Мой гений*

О, память сердца! Ты сильнейРассудка памяти печальнойИ часто сладостью своейМеня в стране пленяешь дальной.Я помню голос милых слов,Я помню очи голубые,Я помню локоны златыеНебрежно вьющихся власов.Моей пастушки несравненнойЯ помню весь наряд простой,И образ милый, незабвенныйПовсюду странствует со мной.Хранитель гений мой — любовьюВ утеху дан разлуке он:Засну ль? приникнет к изголовьюИ усладит печальный сон.

Разлука («Напрасно покидал страну моих отцов…»)*

Напрасно покидал страну моих отцов,  Друзей души, блестящие искусстваИ в шуме грозных битв, под тению шатровСтарался усыпить встревоженные чувства.Ах! небо чуждое не лечит сердца ран!    Напрасно я скитался  Из края в край и грозный океан  За мной роптал и волновался;Напрасно от брегов пленительных Невы    Отторженный судьбою,Я снова посещал развалины Москвы,Москвы, где я дышал свободою прямою!Напрасно я спешил от северных степей,  Холодным солнцем освещенных,В страну, где Тирас бьет излучистой струей,Сверкая между гор, Церерой позлащенных,И древние поит народов племена.Напрасно: всюду мысль преследует одна  О милой, сердцу незабвенной,  Которой имя мне священно,Которой взор один лазоревых очейВсе — неба на земле — блаженства отверзает,И слово, звук один, прелестный звук речей  Меня мертвит и оживляет.

Надпись к портрету графа Эммануила Сен-При*

От родины его отторгнула судьбина;Но лилиям отцов он всюду верен был:  И в нашем стане воскресилБаярда древний дух и доблесть Дюгесклина.

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.
