Moving chronologically through Aygi's life and work from the 1950's to his final work in the early 2000's, the book concludes with an interview with American poet Fanny Howe about the importance of Aygi's work in translation. The volume places Aygi in the context of twentieth-century poetry of witness and reveals the global significance of his work. 410 0$aLiber Primus (Series) 606 $aExperimental poetry, Russian$xHistory and criticism 606 $aPoetics 615 0$aExperimental poetry, Russian$xHistory and criticism. 615 0$aPoetics. 676 $a891.71/44 700 $aValentine$b Sarah$f1977-$01655812 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910816040703321 996 $aWitness and transformation$94008351 997 $aUNINA
