Arseny Tarkovsky is the neglected Russian poet, father of the acclaimed film director Andrei Tarkovsky. This new book gathers together many of Tarkovsky’s most lyrical and heartfelt poems, in Virginia Rounding’s clear, new translations. Many of Tarkovsky’s poems appeared in his son’s films, such as Mirror, Stalker, Nostalghia and The Sacrifice. There is an introduction by Rounding, and a bibliography of both Arseny and Andrei Tarkovsky. This is a unique book of poems very difficult to find elsewhere.
