While barely known in the West, this episode represents the first penetration, in the form of an exclusively personal relationship, of the heart of European modernism by a representative of the Balkan literary world; that is, the first instance of a counter-trend to a series of influences that had completely transformed the literatures and even the broader society of the South Slavs and Albanians. In 1903, Guillaume Apollinaire went to London, pursuing his great muse, a governess named Annie Playden, with whom he had traveled in the Rhineland. I say pursued, although in our less innocent age, Apollinaire’s devotion to this young woman who claimed to have insistently rejected him might, unfortunately, be described as “stalking.”

Tsvetaeva's disciplined poetry grew from her own contradictory personality and highly controlled use of language. Among her innumerable themes were female sexuality and the tension between women's private emotions and their public roles. She lived in exile in the 1920s and 1930s because of her political views. After returning to the Soviet Union and being ostracized by the literary community she committed suicide in 1941. What shall I do, singer and first-born, in a world where the deepest black is grey, and inspiration is kept in a thermos? with all this immensity in a measured world? (from 'The Poet', trans. by Elaine Feinstein) Tsvetaeva started to write verse in her early childhood. As a poet she debuted at the age of 18 with the collection Evening Album , a tribute to her childhood. The book was privately published and was dedicated to the narcissist diarist Bashkiartseff (1858-1884). Her writings were also examined by

Marina Tsvetaeva "Represented on a graph, Tsvetaeva's work would exhibit a curveor rather, a straight linerising at almost a right angle because of her constant effort to raise the pitch a note higher, an idea higher (or, more precisely, an octave and a faith higher.) She always carried everything she has to say to its conceivable and expressible end. In both her poetry and her prose, nothing remains hanging or leaves a feeling of ambivalence. Tsvetaeva is the unique case in which the paramount spiritual experience of an epoch (for us, the sense of ambivalence, of contradictoriness in the nature of human existence) served not as the object of expression but as its means, by which it was transformed into the material of art." Joseph Brodsky My Poems...

Marina, her husband, and their children moved to Paris to live among the Russian expatriate community there, but they were eventually shunned because her husband was thought to be a Soviet spy which apparently turned out to be true. Throughout this time, Marina desperately struggled to feed her family, sometimes having to resort to theft. They later moved back to Soviet Russia, where her husband was eventually arrested and killed, despite his earlier collaboration. Marina Tsvetaeva committed suicide in 1941.

The Marina Tsvetaeva Home Page (for English-speakers) Some forebear of mine was a violinist, A horseman and a thief, moreover. Isn't that where I got my wanderlust, Why my hair smells of wind and weather? Swarthy, guiding my hand, is it not really him Stealing apricots from the fruit-cart? Curly-haired, hook-nosed, is it not his whim That my fate is all passion and hazard? Admiring the tiller at his plough, In his lips he twirled a sweet-briar. He made a perfidious friend, but how Dashing and tender a lover. Of moon, pipe and beads he was long a fan, And of all female neighbours... It seems to me he was a cowardly man, My yellow-eyed, distant forebear. That after he'd sold the devil his life He'd not walk through the graveyard at midnight. It occurs to me, too, that he carried a knife Hidden inside his bootflap. That many a time from round some fence He'd leap, a supple feline.

T-Z Subjects: A-B C-E F-L M-Z Tsvetaeva, Marina Ivanovna (1892-1941) Widely considered one of the four greatest twentieth-century Russian poets, and an innovative prose writer and dramatist, Marina Tsvetaeva was born in Moscow on October 8, 1892. Her father was an art professor and her mother a gifted pianist of Polish descent, whose father had forbidden her a concert career. Although Tsvetaeva's mother wanted her daughter to become a pianist, Marina herself was drawn to words and began writing poetry at the age of six. Her first volume of poems, Evening Album , was published in 1910 and consisted of verse written between the ages of fifteen and seventeen. Sponsor Message. Aside from her youthful love affair with the poet Sophia Parnok, Tsvetaeva's self-acknowledged bisexuality, her lesbianism, and the lesbian theme that runs throughout her poetry, prose, letters, and journals have all been ignored or, at best, mentioned in passing by most of her Western biographers. Most Russian Tsvetaeva scholars try to deny the poet's lesbianism and its significance in her work. Tsvetaeva revealed an attraction to her own sex from childhood both in her reading and in her relationships with other children. She tells the story of her childhood love for another girl in her prose work, "The House at Old Pimen."

Tsvetaeva, Marina Ivanovna Marina Ivanovna Tsvetaeva was born in Moscow on 9 October (26 September old style; she preferred the old calendar all her life), 1892. Her father, Ivan Vladimirovich Tsvetaev, was a professor of art history at the University of Moscow. Late in life he founded the Alexander III Museum, which is now known as the Pushkin Museum. Tsvetaeva's mother, Maria Alexandrovna Meyn, was Ivan's second wife. She had musical talent but had been frustrated in her dream of becoming a great concert pianist. Marina had two half-siblings, Valeria and Andrei, who were the children of Ivan's deceased first wife, Varvara Dmitrievna Ilovaisky (daughter of the historian Dmitri Ilovaisky). She also had a full sister, Anastasia, who was born in 1894. In 1903 Tsvetaeva's mother contracted tuberculosis. Because it was believed that a change in climate could help cure the disease, the family travelled abroad until shortly before her death in 1906. Marina and Anastasia attended schools in Italy, Switzerland and Germany. After her mother's death, Tsvetaeva gave up the music lessons she hated and concentrated on poetry. Her first major work was a translation of Edmond Rostand's L'Aiglon; it has not been preserved. Tsvetaeva studied by herself in Paris in 1909, and then attended a series of gymnasiums in Russia, without academic success; by now her sole, consuming interest was in poetry.
