    Extractions: Requiem Translation by Judith Hemschemeyer No, not under the vault of alien skies, And not under the shelter of alien wings – I was with my people then, There, where my people, unfortunately, were. In the terrible years of the Yezhov terror, I spent seventeen months in the prison lines of Leningrad. Once, someone “recognized” me. Then a woman with bluish lips standing behind me, who l of course, had never heard me called by name before, woke up from the stupor to which everyone had succumber and whispered in my ear (everyone spoke in whispers there): “Can you describe this?” And I answered, “Yes, I can.” Then something that looked like a smile passed over what had once been her face. April 1, 1957 Mountians bow down to this grief, Mighty rivers cease to flow, But the prison gates hold firm, And behind htem are the “prisoners’ burrows” And mortal woe, For someone a fresh breeze blows, For someone the sunset luxuriates – We wouldn’t know, we are those who everywhere Hear only the rasp of the hateful key And the soldiers’ heavy tread.

She was interested in poetry from an early age but her father did not approve and this is why she was asked to use a pen name. She married Nikolai Gumilev a poet and critic in 1910. In 1912 Gumilev travelled to Abyssinia leaving Anna behind. During this period she wrote he first popular book “Evening”. With this and her 2nd book “Rosary”  (1914) Anna become a well respected author, especially within the literary scene of St Petersburg. Anna's poetry became associated with the movement of Acmeism. This praised the virtues of lucid, carefully-crafted verse. It was quite different to the previous symbolist style which was much more vague in its  construction.             She divorced her husband N. Gumilev in 1918 and married twice more. Gumilev was executed by the Bolsheviks in 1921 and despite being divorced, through this association Akhamatova suffered from some degree of political censure for most of her life. One of her most famous works is “Requiem” This was written as a tribute to the many victims of Stalin. It was not published fully in the Soviet Union until 1987.

    Extractions: Akhmatova, Anna, pseudonym of Anna Andreevna Gorenko (1889-1966) Russian poetess, born in Odessa into the family of a naval officer. She started to write very early to ultimate horror of her parents; her father told her not to shame the family name by becoming a “decadent poetess”. She chose the name of her great-grandmother as a literary pseudonym not to embarrass the family. For some time she studied at law school in Kiev. In 1910, she married Nicolai Gumilev (1886-1921), himself a poet and critic, who at first considerably influenced her style. They spent the spring of 1910, their honeymoon, in Paris, where Anna met the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) and fell in love with him. Summer of 1911 she spent with Modigliani in Paris. Under the influence of this love affair she wrote many lyrical poems, many of which formed up her first book, Evening The same year that her first book was published, 1912, her son Lev Gumilev (1912-92) was born. He would become an outstanding historian, geographer, and philosopher. But meanwhile his father put the child under supervision of his own mother, who disliked Anna. Akhmatova tried to protest the situation, but Nicolai supported his family; Anna visited her son during holidays and summer. She wrote that she ‘was a bad mother’, that “motherhood is a bright torture. I was not worthy of it.” The book Evening made Akhmatova a very popular poetess, and her second book

    Extractions: The Silver Age of Russian Poetry Main Page Contents Symbolists Futurists The movement of Acmeism began in the early twentieth century, partially as a reaction against symbolism. In defiance of the older poets whose innovations had changed poetry in Russia, Nikolai Gumilev Anna Akhmatova , and Osip Mandel'shtam began to apply their own ideas to the art of building poetry. They wanted to bring the art form back down to earth. They did not believe poetry was tied to mysticism and thought that poets (who were talented human beings rather than the prophets of symbolism) should express ideas about culture, the word, and human existence. Time was transparent to the acmeists. The past, present and future met in the lines of their poetry. The Hellenistic age encroached on twentieth century Russia, and the acmeists continued the symbolist tradition of incorporating mythical and biblical figures into their verses. Nikolai Gumilev (1886-1921) was a poet and literary theorist and critic. He and Anna Akhmatova had a tumultuous marriage from 1910 to 1918. Many of his poems were influenced by his trips to Africa, where he was captivated by the landscape and wildlife. It is said that he wrote the poem

When the burdocks rustle in the ravine and the yellow-red rowanberry cluster droops I compose happy verses about life's decay, decay and beauty. I come back. The fluffy cat licks my palm, purrs so sweetly and the fire flares bright on the saw-mill turret by the lake. Only the cry of a stork landing on the roof occasionally breaks the silence. If you knock on my door I may not even hear. ~Anna Akhmatova Back to Index of Poems Twenty-first. Night. Monday. Silhouette of the capitol in darkness. Some good-for-nothing who knows why made up the tale that love exists on earth. People believe it, maybe from laziness or boredom, and live accordingly: they wait eagerly for meetings, fear parting, and when they sing, they sing about love. But the secret reveals itself to some, and on them silence settles down... I found this out by accident and now it seems I'm sick all the time. ~Anna Akhmatova Back to Index of Poems So many stones have been thrown at me, That I'm not frightened of them anymore, And the pit has become a solid tower, Tall among tall towers. I thank the builders, May care and sadness pass them by. From here I'll see the sunrise earlier, Here the sun's last ray rejoices. And into the windows of my room The northern breezes often fly. And from my hand a dove eats grains of wheat... As for my unfinished page, The Muse's tawny hand, divinely calm And delicate, will finish it. June 6, 1914, Slepnyovo ~Anna Akhmatova

    Extractions: Books Life Akhmatova, Anna, pseudonym of Anna Andreyevna Gorenko (1888-1966), Russian lyric poet, considered one of the greatest poets in the history of Russian literature. With Osip Mandelstam she was a leader of the early 20th-century acmeist movement, which called for use of poetic language that would convey exact meanings with simplicity and clarity. Akhmatova was born near Odesa, Ukraine, but spent most of her life in Saint Petersburg, Russia. Her first volumes of romantic lyrics, Vecher (Evening, 1912) and Chyotki (The Rosary, 1914), gained immediate popular and critical success. Later works, such as Anno domini MCMXXI (1922), introduced patriotic themes. Beginning in the early 1920s, publication of Akhmatova's work, with a few exceptions, was banned by the Soviet regime led by Joseph Stalin, who felt that her poetry did not sufficiently promote Communist policy (see Russian Literature: Socialist Realism). This ban was gradually lifted following Stalin's death in 1953. Rekviem (1963; Requiem, 1964) and Poema bez geroya (Poem Without a Hero, 1962), considered her masterpieces, chronicle not only her own sufferings but also those of all Russians during Stalin's reign.
