Anna Akhmatova lived through pre-revolution Russia, Bolshevism, and Stalinism. Throughout it all, she maintained an elegant, muscular style that could grab a reader by the throat at a moment's notice. Defined by tragedy and beauty in equal measure, her poems take on romantic frustration and the pull of the sensory, and find power in the mundane. Above all, she believed that a Russian poet could only produce poetry in Russia. You Will Hear Thunder spans Akhmatova's very early career into the early 1960s. These poems were written through her bohemian prerevolution days, her many marriages, the terror and privation of life under Stalin, and her later years, during which she saw her work once again recognized by the Soviet state. Intricately observed and unwavering in their emotional immediacy, these strikingly modern poems represent one of the twentieth century's most powerful voices.

About Anna Akhmatova

A leading figure of the Acmeist movement, Anna Akhmatova (1889–1966) was born Anna Gorenko near Odessa in the Russian Empire. Her early collections Evening (1912) and Rosary (1914) brought her wide recognition. Her long poem Requiem, written between 1935 and 1940, circulated privately for decades before publication. Soviet authorities barred her from publishing between 1946 and 1958. She was later nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature.
