Into the Snow - - Selected Poems of Gennady Aygi - limited edition hardcover

In packages—in the supermarket—piles of potatoes.
And on the posters—in the supermarket—the Shaman.

Animated by an elemental sense of life, mortality, and humanity, the Chuvash poet Gennady Aygi wrote poems that fused his experience of ethnic difference with an avant-garde aesthetic. Artfully translated from the Russian by poet and scholar Sarah Valentine, these strong, precise poems challenge language to plumb the depths of human feeling and simultaneously attune to linguistic experimentalism.
