This volume contains a selection of early works by Yevgeny Alexandrovich Yevtushenko who blazed a trail for a generation of Soviet poets with a confident poetic voice that moves effortlessly between social and personal themes. ¿Zima Junction¿ vividly describes his idyllic childhood in Siberia and his impressions of home after a long absence in Moscow. Private moments are captured in ¿Waking¿, on the joys of discovering the unexpected in a lover, and ¿Birthday¿, on a mother¿s concern for her son, while ¿Encounter¿ depicts an unexpected meeting with Hemingway in Copenhagen. ¿The Companion¿ and ¿Party Card¿ show war from a child¿s eye, whether playing while oblivious to German bombs falling nearby or discovering a fatally wounded soldier in the forest, while Yevtushenko¿s famous poem, ¿Babiy Yar¿, is an angry expos¿f the Nazi massacre of the Jews of Kiev.
