Beschreibungen/Notizen

• In 1965, during the seventy-sixth and final summer of her life, Anna Akhmatova encountered the work of Judith Wright, an Australian poet twenty-six years her junior, living more than eight thousand miles from Saint Petersburg amid the subtropical rainforest of Tamborine Mountain, in the state of Queensland. The experience moved the Russian poet to compose a fragment. Here, Savige examines one of Akhmatova's last poem.
