Читаем Том 1. Стихотворения полностью

Для первых властителей завиден мой жребий,И боги не так горды.Столпами из мрамора в пылающем небеУкрепились мои сады.Там рощи с цистернами для розовой влаги,Голубые, нежные мхи,Рабы и танцовщицы, и мудрые маги,Короли четырех стихий.Всё манит и радует, всё ясно и близко,Всё таит восторг тишины,Но каждою полночью так страшно и низкоНаклоняется лик луны.И в сумрачном ужасе от лунного взгляда,От цепких лунных сетей,Мне хочется броситься из этого садаС высоты семисот локтей.

Старый конквистадор

Углубясь в неведомые горы,Заблудился старый конквистадор,В дымном небе плавали кондоры,Нависали снежные громады.Восемь дней скитался он без пищи,Конь издох, но под большим уступомОн нашел уютное жилище,Чтоб не разлучаться с милым трупом.Там он жил в тени сухих смоковницПесни пел о солнечной Кастилье,Вспоминал сраженья и любовниц,Видел то пищали, то мантильи.Как всегда, был дерзок и спокоенИ не знал ни ужаса, ни злости,Смерть пришла, и предложил ей воинПоиграть в изломанные кости.

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.
