A Life Replaced: Poems with Translations from Anna Akhmatova and Vladimir Gandelsman

by Olga Livshin

Original poetry by the Russian-American poet Olga Livshin, alongside her translations of Russian poetry by Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) and Vladimir Gandelsman (b. 1948). Foreword by Ilya Kaminsky. A Life Replaced is the fourth book from Poets & Traitors Press.

This is a book that lays all its cards on the table. We see poetic influences, yes. We see conversations, yes. But we also see the music of play, both textual and mundane, play that allows others to enter and tango and transform. This a strange book–hauntingly beautiful and unforgettable.

–Ilya Kaminsky
