All the verse genres Tsvetaeva employed, including lyric poems, poetic cycles, and long narrative poems, are represented here, in \u003ci\u003eVega's Fugitive, \u003c\/i\u003etranslated by award-winning translator and Tsvetaeva scholar Alyssa Dinega Gillespie. Tsvetaeva's poems, some never-before translated, appear in potent English versions that are both highly faithful to the originals and lyrical in their own right. As a result, Tsvetaeva's verse—with its driving rhythms, striking sound plays, and searing insights—is reborn in a new language and new constellations of meaning. These poems dive fearlessly into themes of place, time, and distance; the female body; the poet's fate; desire and longing; grief, loss, and immortality. \u003ci\u003eVega's Fugitive\u003c\/i\u003e makes Tsvetaeva's masterful work not just accessible, but unforgettable for English-language readers around the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57513487565173,"sku":"9798899480874","price":25.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9798899480874.jpg?v=1787220247","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/vegas-fugitive","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
