Quarto 26x17.5 cm., original wrappers, 74(2) pp. 4000 copies. Erenburg examines the poets of the day who he sees as the most significant. For the most part he was spot on: Akhmatova, Baltrushaitis, Bal'mont, Briusov, Blok, Belyi, Voloshin, Esenin, Ivanov, Mandel'shtam, Pasternak, Sologub, and Tsvetaeva. Written at the time from when he was in Berlin and unconstrained by party dogma, Erenburg openly expresses admiration and encouragement in a critical context when experimentation and diversity were still tolerated and flourished. Many of these poets would find themselves ostracized, proscribed, in exile or imprisoned in the course of time. With an unattributed Constructivist cover design. Rare, OCLC locates holdings in UC Berkeley, UCLA, Stanford, Toronto. A crisp copy, near fine.
