Flags

'Flags' was the only volume of poetry published by the Russian emigré poet Boris Poplavsky (1903-1935) during his own lifetime. A significant Surrealist volume it is one of the lost creations of a man who has been called the greatest of the Russian emigré poets. Now recovered by Russian literary experts and re-edited for a new public Poplavsky is gaining the readership that eluded him in his lifetime. Unusually this book presents the complete contents of the original volume (Paris 1933) rather than presenting a Selected or some other overview and thus opens a window onto a fascinating and unfairly neglected figure.
