Written during the Russian Revolution of 1917 and the Moscow famine that followed, these poems are suffused with Tsvetaeva's irony and humour, which undoubtedly accounted for her success in not only reaching the end of the plague year alive, but making it the most productive of her career. We meet a drummer boy idolising Napoleon, an irrepressibly mischievous grandmother who refuses to apologise to God on Judgment Day and an androgynous (and luminous) Joan of Arc.

Given these facts--which are about me, not the book--this is a pretty solid volume. When Marina's imagining herself as an aged grandmother hitting on the young men, it's fun. The poems to Alya are very moving. Some of the narratives are masterpieces of compression. She's funny, she's smart, and the context for the volume makes it worth a look: Tsetaeva wrote these poems during the chaotic years after the revolution, while her husband was away fighting the Bolsheviks.
