Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) had a life that spanned prerevolution Russia, Bolshevism, and Stalinism. Throughout it all, she maintained a restrained, graceful, yet muscular style that could grab a reader by the throat, or the heart, at a moment's notice. Her themes include romantic yearning and frustration, the pull of the sensory, the emotional power of the mundane, and her belief that a Russian poet could only produce poetry in Russia. By reputation, both Akhmatova's poems and the poet herself are defined by tragedy and beauty in equal measure, and she is for many the quintessential twentieth-century Russian poet. 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.

"These are among the best, the most authoritative, of ... translations from the Russian, and are from one of the most powerful of the twentieth century Russian poets."--Financial Times "D.M. Thomas is a poet in his own right, and ... a sensitive translator of [Akhmatova]. Thomas refers to the 'rich mysterious fluid life' that her poetry has.... From his strong yet cautious rhythms, his solid musical phrasing, one [can] intuit the dark elegance of the original."--Yorkshire Post "Anna Akmatova is one of the best-known Soviet poets." --Feminist Bookstore News "Akhmatova's example reminds us that while it is true that the writer cannot change the world alone, the world cannot change itself without her." --San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal
