When hope in ashes weeps tears. Translations of poetry from English language

Before you is an anthology of translations by Alexey Parin from English-language poetry. The main section is British lyric poetry, from the 15th century to the present day, including revelations from such pillars of poetry as Philip Sidney and John Donne, John Keats and Gerard Manley Hopkins. The second section, no less representative, is dedicated to American lyric poetry. Here we find the verbose Longfellow, the philosophical Ezra Pound, the judicious Robert Lowell, and the tough Robert Penn Warren. The book also contains rarities - two New Zealand poets: Arthur Rex Fairburn and Wally Arnold, as well as the dark-skinned native of Sierra Leone, the tormented dreamer Syl Cheney-Coker. Parin not only delves into the essence of poetic statements but also strives to convey in Russian the style of the time and the style of the poet. Many translations from this anthology have already become classics of Russian translation.
