Poetry. Translated from the Russian by Mark Halperin and Dinara Georgeoliani. Reaching back as far as medieval Rus and as far forward as metrical and linguistic innovation permit, Sosnora has written with a voice unique and wide-ranging. Historical allusion, conscious anachronism, humor, and intensity of word play dominate by turns his range of verse. Viktor Sosnora was born in 1936 in the Crimea.
