The Death of Stalin: Selected Early Poems 1978-1989

Poetry. "Ivan Arg elles is one of this century's finest, yet he remains known to only a few passionate partisans. His work is 'difficult,' but it is no more difficult than the work of many far better-known poets and his work is better than theirs. Arg elles is wide-ranging, restless, full of 'references' the author's learning is immense but also, immediate, astonishing, visceral; his work communicates before it is fully, or, indeed sometimes even partially, 'understood'" Jack Foley.
