| Summary: | "Elena Shvarts is one of Russia's greatest living poets. Birdsong on the Seabed presents a selection of her most recent poetry. Shvarts has brought out four new collections in Russian since the publication by Bloodaxe in 1993 of 'Paradise': Selected Poems, the first English edition of her poetry and a Poetry Book Society Recommended Translation. This new bilingual Russian-English selection also includes some poems not yet published in Russia." "The world of Elena Shvarts' poems is strange and grotesque: often the setting is urban, but unrecognisable - towns emptied of the everyday and peopled only by animals, spirits and strange elemental forces. A peculiar religious fervour illuminates these scenes, but her religion is unorthodox and highly individual."--BOOK JACKET.
