Take Me to Stavanger: Poems

A Bilingual Collection of Poems for a Dispirited Society

Amid the din of Russia's patriotic sentiments and Instagram instants, is there any room left for the voice of a poet? Despite the many entertainments and distractions of modern life, Anzhelina Polonskaya's spare but cutting poems in Take Me to Stavanger declare a wholehearted "Yes." This bilingual Russian-English volume makes a refuge for the poet and her readers, plumbing the depths of contemporary melancholy and ennui. Beautifully crafted idiosyncratic dissections of a strong individual who refuses to go along with the currents of popular culture or political jingoism invite readers to slow down and pay attention.
