Stolen Air: Selected Poems of Osip Mandelstam by Ilya Kaminsky, Osip Mandelstam, Christian Wiman

msgtdameron's review against another edition

4.0

I didn't enjoy Mandelstams' poetry as much as I thought I would. His style is different from Arkhamov and maybe that's on me since I enjoyed Anna's poetry much more. Several of his poems about Stalin flip easily into comments about President Trump. But egocentric megalomaniacs are all the same so the comments should be similar. Enjoyable poetry for those who want to think.
