These poems were translated by Jane Kenyon with Vera Sandomirsky Dunham in 1985. They are included in her book, Collected Poems, which is how I was introduced to this Russian poet.

BooksandCoffee4Me Ah, someone else who knows and appreciates Akhmatova‘s poetry! Last year when I was teaching adult Ed English language learners, one of my students from Russia read one of Akhmatova‘s poems with me for the class, I reading in English and he reading stanzas then in Russian. 3d
