Tomas Venclova. Peizažas su Polifemu. Translated from Lithuanian into Russian by Georgy Efremov, Anna Glukhova, Anna Halberstadt, and Marina Vojckaya. With a preface by Polina Barskova. New York: Tamizdat Project, 2026. 

“These are poems about what happens afterward – after the great deed, after deprivations, after glory. When the fate of the hero is already dissolving into oblivion. When your fate has already been accomplished, as we learn from this book, the poet-hero is relegated to a special, hybrid space of activity: recollection and observation. This kind of work is where I see the sense and the triumph of Landscape with Polyphemus.” – Polina Barskova

Polina Barskova. Krasnaia kniga. 2 ed. New York: Tamizdat Project, 2026. 

"Polina does not understand, cannot accept, that time passes, because then everyone will die in a different way: and this time they will die unbearably. And she uses all of herself to hold them back, here – she holds them back with a tendentious, meticulous love; she holds tight under her shirt this salved miracle, something unimaginable, priceless, for as long as Charon is rowing… and we know the rest. But they are all alive, they’re alive and they will stay alive, so eat shit, Charon, because this is Polina’s love – Polina, who writes in a mix of ash and snow, has no mercy for them and envies them, is prideful before them and runs as wild as she likes, seeks her “I,” gets annoyed by them, doesn’t believe in much – but carries on through everything.” – Linor Goralik
