SIGNED by Yevgeny Yevtushenko 1932-2017 on the title page. A collection of poems and prose. Foreword by Harrison E. Salisbury who notes ".Yevtusheno has embarked on a creative experiment--the combination of prose and poetry in what seems to me to be a new attractive and enormously effective form. It gives strength and body to his poetics and it lends emotion and color to his prose. Here is an outrush of feeling as tumultuous as anything Yevtusheno has ever written." Translated by Antonia W. Bouis Albert C. Todd and Yevgeny Yevtushenko. U.K. and U.S. editions of this book were published in 1987. Signed copies of the U.K. edition such as this one are far more elusive than the U.S. edition. SCARCE SIGNED. <br/><br/> CONDITION: Gilt spine titles bright and unfaded pages moderately toned.
