{"product_id":"9780811217217","title":"Field-Russia","description":"\u003cb\u003eThe central work by the world-famous Chuvashian who \"writes with an imagistic compression an real time candor that is utterly unique\" (\u003ci\u003ePublishers Weekly\u003c\/i\u003e).\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLifelong Aygi translator and friend Peter France wrote in \u003ci\u003eThe Guardian\u003c\/i\u003e: \"Aygi wrote from a deep awareness of the losses and destructions of the 20th century.\" \u003ci\u003eField-Russia\u003c\/i\u003e is a book of poems arranged shortly before Aygi's death, which in his view occupied a central place in his work. The collection opens with an informal conversation about poetry, and is followed by a series of little lyric \"books\"—\u003ci\u003eField-Russia, Time of the Ravines\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eFinal Departure\u003c\/i\u003e—that form a part of Aygi's \"life-book.\" Like Ahkmatova and Celan before him, Aygi has left us with these most necessary words to dwell in—a quiet, spiritual poetry in a time of uprootedness and despair.
