MANDELSHTAM
(Born 1891, Died 1938)
(Translations from Russian)
Osip Mandelshtam (1891- 1938), one of the three great Acmeist poets, wrote
verse distinguished by classical restraint, majestic conciseness, and
sonority. Much of his early poetry is embodied in his two collections Stone
(1913) and Tristina (1922). Arrested in 1934, he was exiled first to the
Ural region and then to Voronezh. In 1938 he was rearrested, sentenced to
forced labour, and died in harrowing circumstances in Vladivostok.
