An amazing survey of Parnok’s life, with her poems arranged throughout the text along with her biography. Attempts to explain the meter and rhyme and other parts of her work lost in translation and overall provides a great portrait of an incredible woman. This book is a gift to anyone interested in lesbian history, russian literary history, etc!
