    A voice both mystical and earthy
  

*by M***A on Reviewed in the United States on June 18, 2004*

"Listen! Early Poems 1913-1918," by Vladimir Mayakovsky, features poems translated into English by Maria Enzensberger.  Also included is a foreword by Elaine Feinstein.  This 63-page book has been published as Pocket Poets Series No. 47.This book was my introduction to the voice of Russian poet Mayakovsky (1893-1930).  In her interesting introduction translator Enzensberger puts his work in context.  She includes a humorous and charming story about the beginning of his poetic career, and also discusses his relationship to the futurist movement.  The book reproduces a rich selection of visual materials: photos, lithographs, drawings, and even some of Mayakovsky's own handwritten notes.Mayakovsky's poetry is fascinating.  His voice is full of absurdism and playful humor.  Yet the poetry is also touched by a tragic vision; his voice sounds genuinely compassionate towards beings (both human and non-human) that are suffering.  The poems raise lofty theological issues, yet remain grounded in very concrete and specific worldly things: smoked sardines, manure, galoshes, etc.  A number of pieces deal with poetry itself.Mayakovsky's language, as rendered into English by Enzensberger, has a wonderfully muscular, meaty, yet musical quality--truly poetry that should be read aloud.  At times Mayakovsky's vision and voice reminded me of those of Pablo Neruda and Walt Whitman, whom I see as his poetic soul brothers.  At his best, Mayakovsky has a poetic voice that is graced with prophecy and magic.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    A good gift for a friend
  

*by G***R on Reviewed in the United States on April 30, 1999*

A classy, stylish little book, with Russian and transliterated English printed on facing pages. Some of Mayakovsky's art, too, in black and white. I don't think it has the scope or selection you would want for a  collection, but it's a really fine volume for a gift, for something small,  for a little dose of one of 'the' Russian poets of the 20th century.
