This collection contains 56 poems of the great Russian poet Sergei Yesenin translated into English. It includes an overview of the poet's art, from the earliest to some of his very last poems. "Farewell my friend, farewell; My dearest one, you're in my heart. The predetermined parting from above, Will reunite us later and we'll never part. Farewell, my friend, don't speak, don't shake my hand; Please don't despair and don't frown your brow. To perish in this life is nothing novel, Although to live, of course, is also nothing new."
