These articles focus on works in which sonic-musical, resp. visual-typographical features are used to produce interesting new effects and range from a musical analysis of the way Joseph Brodsky recited his poems to quasi-musical principles of organization (as in the works by Mnatsakanova and Nikonova) to layout designs that reflect the way a poem is recited (as in the case of Khudyakov, Volohovsky, Brodsky, Nekrasov, and Aigi) and perceived. As the first serious scholarly examination of the poets presented, this volume offers an important introduction to Russian avant-garde poetry.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTrade Review\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \t\u003ci\u003e\"Janecek's subtle analyses ... are primarily devoted to less well known authors and broaden the basis for form analysis of poetry in an excellent way.\"\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cb\u003e  · Osteuropa\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTable of Contents\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cp\u003e \tList of Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e \tPreface\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduction\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 1. \u003c\/strong\u003eAnri Volohonsky’s “Aorists of the Decrepit”\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 2. \u003c\/strong\u003eElizaveta Mnatsakanova’s “Requiem”\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 3. \u003c\/strong\u003e How Joseph Brodsky Read His Poems\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 4. \u003c\/strong\u003eHenry Khudyakov, Poet of Compressed Form\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 5. \u003c\/strong\u003eVsevolod Nekrasov’s Minimalist Poetry\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 6. \u003c\/strong\u003eThe Poetics of Punctuation in Gennady Aygi’s Free Verse\u003cbr\u003e \t\u003cstrong\u003eChapter 7. \u003c\/strong\u003eRea Nikonova’s \u003cem\u003ePliugms\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tAfterword\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \tIndex\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Berghahn Books, Incorporated","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51041410646359,"sku":"9781571811486","price":89.1,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/bookcurl.com\/products\/sight-and-sound-entwined-studies-of-the-new-russian-poetry-9781571811486","provider":"Book Curl","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
