A treasure. A reprint of the old Penguin with literal translations of each poem at the bottom of the page. Much larger and easier to read. A very comprehensive selection of Russian poets, including Mayakovsky, Akhmatova, Tvetaeva, Gumilev, Khodasevich, Esenin, Mandelstam, Tchutchev, Fet, Lermontov, Pushkin, etc.
