After years of flourishing quietly in the late Soviet underground, she has increasingly brought her considered voice into public debates to speak out for freedom of belief and for those who have been treated unjustly. This volume, the first collection of scholarly essays to treat her work in English, assesses her contributions as a poet and as a thinker, presenting far-reaching accounts of broad themes and patterns of thought across her writings as well as close readings of individual texts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEssayists from Russia, Ukraine, Germany, Italy, and the United States show how Sedakova has contributed to ongoing aesthetic and cultural debates. Like Sedakova's own work, the volume affirms the capacity of words to convey meaning and to change our understanding of life itself. The volume also includes dozens of elegant new translations of Sedakova's poems.\u003c\/font\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\r\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cfont size=\"3\"\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eList of Illustrations\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAcknowledgments\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Note on Transliteration and Sources\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Stephanie Sandler\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWays of Seeing the Poet and Her Poems\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eIf This Is Not a Garden: Olga Sedakova and the Unfinished Work of Creation\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Benjamin Paloff\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Poet and Darkness: The Politics of Artistic Form\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Ksenia Golubovich (translated from Russian by Philip Redko)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eChildhood and Vibrant Stasis in Olga Sedakova’\u003cbr\u003es Poetry\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e Emily R.
