Title: Bratsk Station and other new poems.
Description: NY, Anchor, 1967. VG PB. Yvelushenko was born in 1933 in Zima in Siberia and lived in Moscow. His poetry has been translated into many languages. and many have responded to his impassioned poetry readings. His personal concerns are sufficiently representative of the concerns of his time and nation and make him spokesman for a generation. This is the first American publication of the complete Bratsk Station, an epic cycle of 35 poems about the building of the hydroelectric power station at Bratsk in Siberia plus 26 other new poems collected here. He writes fervently of his faith in the ideals behind the Revolution, of the Russian land and people, and often of the troubled relation of the artist's "I" to the "we" of government.
