Irina was a physicist imprisoned by the Soviet Union when her poetry was deemed "anti-Soviet agitation and propaganda." This is a collection of her poetry written in, and smuggled out of her labor camp. Sometimes a book should be read because of its importance, and not so much based solely the quality of the writing.
There were a few really great poems in here, and a lot of mediocre ones, but they all illuminated what life was like inside a Soviet labor camp in the mid 80s, and what that sort of life does to someone.
