Autorenporträt

Olga Sedakova wrote prolifically during the 1970s, but since her complex, allusive style of poetry-generally labeled as neo-modernist or meta-realism-didn't fit the prescribed official aesthetics, it wasn't available until the late 1980s. Caroline Clark is a British poet and essayist. She holds degrees from the Universities of Sussex and Exeter, and her dissertation was on the poetics of Osip Mandelstam and Paul Celan. Ksenia Golubovich is a Russian writer, philologist, editor, and translator living in Moscow. She has held a writer's residency at the Iowa International Writing Program, and writes for the Novaya Gazeta newspaper in Moscow. Stephanie Sandler teaches Russian Literature in the Slavic Department at Harvard University. She co-translated Elena Fanailova's The Russian Version , which won the Best Translated Book Award for poetry in 2010.
