Overview

The Russian Mood volume 1 is an anthology of 19th and 20th century Russian poems translated into English by Elena Levin and James L. Vendeland.

Included are poems of Zhukovsky, Viazemsky, Tyutchev, Lermontov, Polonsky, Nekrasov, Gumilev, Akhmatova, Tsvetaeva, Yesenin, Zabolotzky, Gamzatov, Korzhavin, and Rozhdestvensky. Following several of these poems are hyperlinks connecting the reader to you tube sites where one can listen to the music to which these poems have been set.
