marina tsvetaeva

Revolution-era Russia's most gifted poet, Tsvetaeva's intense dedication to the world inside—at the expense of her external responsibilities—is evident both in the naked profundity of her work and in the mess that was her personal life, about half of which was lived in exile.

Her poems trample a path between the unbridled abstraction of Russian Symbolism and the formal clarity of Acmeism. Best known for "The Poem of the End."
