From her appearance in a small magazine in 1906 to her death in 1965, Anna Akhmatova was a dominant presence in Russian literary life. But this friend of Pasternak & Mandelstam was a poet in a country where poetry was literally a matter of life & death, as she found when Mandelstam & her own husb&, Gumilyev, were executed, & her son imprisoned for many years in the Gulag. Akhmatova`s first collection, ” Evening”, appeared in 1912. ” Rosary” (1914) made her a household name.
