Solar Eclipse 1914 by Arseny Tarkovsky, trans. By Peter Oram Rupert M Loydell sustainingArseny Tarkovsky (1907 1989) is considered to be one of the most important Russian poets of the twentieth century, yet his work is rarely encountered outside Russia. This selection of his verse, brilliantly translated in metre and rhyme by the late Peter Oram, aims to make his poetry more widely available to an English language readership while the introduction by two eminent scholars of Russian literature sets it in its wider context.
