His early success with Kamen (1913, Stone), Tristia (1922, Sad Things), and Stikhotvorenia 1921–25 (1928, Poems) was followed by suspicion and exile (1934) by the Soviet authorities. He continued to write poetry, committed to memory by his wife Nadezhda (1899–1980) and published abroad more than 20 years after his death as Sobranie sochineny (Collected Works) in three volumes (1964–71). His wife wrote their story in Hope Against Hope (1970) and Hope Abandoned (1974). |
