Poetry Miniatures

The collection “Poetry Miniatures” by Valentina Ossepyan (poetress) and Nadezhda Antonovskaya (translator) is designed to provide real help in the study of comparative typology in poetry.

It will surely increase your understanding of distinctive qualities of Russian and English poetic texts through a linguistically different poetic rendering of the same state of mind. It will lead students of Slavistics to a better appreciation of translation as a search for adequacy.

The collection contains 24 Russian miniature poems, their translations in English and an introduction.
