Features: In the 20th century, Russia stands out for its prominent focus on the theme of "exile." From the 1920s to the 1970s, a large number of émigré poets inherited and carried forward the fine traditions from Pushkin to the "Silver Age" literature, persisting in writing in their mother tongue in foreign lands. Driven by the loss of their homeland, theyed the sense of spiritual disorientation of humanity, employing an existential aesthetic approach to showcase their rich imagination, unique poetic language, and masterful artistic techniques. Their works concretely symbolize the essence of "inner exile," becoming one of the most globally influential poetic landscapes of the 20th century. This book selects works from 85 Russian émigré poets, totaling over 400 poems. Among them are the masterpieces or representative works of renowned poets such as Tsvetaeva, Poplavsky, G. Ivanov, I. Yelagin, and Brodsky, as well as the significant works of "little" poets outside the literary history. It is a comprehensive panorama of Russian émigré poetry.
