Add to a Notebook Anna Akhmatova Anna Andreyevna Akhmatova was born Anna Gorenko into an upper-class family in Odessa, the Ukraine, in 1889. Her interest in poetry began in her youth, but when her father found out about her aspirations, he told her not to shame the family name by becoming a "decadent poetess". He forced her to take a pen name, and she chose the last name of her maternal great-grandmother. She attended law school in Kiev and married Nikolai Gumilev, a poet and critic, in 1910. Shortly after the marriage, he travelled to Abyssinia, leaving her behind. While Gumilev was away, Akhmatova wrote many of the poems that would be published in her popular first book, Evening . Her son Lev was also born in 1912. He was raised by his paternal grandmother, who disliked Akhmatova. Akhmatova protested this situation, but her husband supported his family. She would visit with her son during holidays and summer. Later, Akhmatova would write that "motherhood is a bright torture. I was not worthy of it." Upon Evening 's publication in 1912, Akhmatova became a cult figure among the intelligentsia and part of the literary scene in St. Petersburg. Her second book

Extractions: Requiem Genre Poem (19 pp.) Poems (Sequence) (19 pp.) Keywords Catastrophe Death and Dying Freedom Grief ... War and Medicine Summary In a preface written in 1957, the author recounts the origin of "Requiem." Akhmatova spent 17 months waiting in line outside a prison in Leningrad for news of her son. One day a woman shivering in the crowd identified Akhmatova and whispered, "Can you describe this?" The poet answered, "I can." This sequence of poems is the result. In "Dedication" Akhmatova sets the scene: "We rose / and each day walked the wilderness, / trudging through silent streets and square, / to congregate, less live than dead." (p. 101) In this time "when only the dead / could smile . . . " she addresses her son, "At dawn they came and took you away. / You were my dead." (p. 103) For "seventeen months I have cried aloud," but there is no relief, and "nothing is left but dusty flowers, / the tinkling thurible, and tracks / that lead to nowhere." (p. 107) She addresses death; she welcomes madness: "Already madness lifts its wing / to cover half my soul." (p. 111) In the end the poet's requiem is not only for those who died in Stalin's terror, but also for those who remained alive, for those who waited at the gates: "for all who stood outside the jail, / in bitter cold or summer's blaze, / with me under that blind red wall." (p. 115)

While still very young, she was taken to Tsarskoe Selo, which later came to be called the city of Pushkin. She lived there until the age of 16, and it is there that she composed some of her first poetry. She later graduated from the Fundukleevsky Institute in Kiev, and it is here that her childhood romance with former Tsarskoe Selo schoolmate Nikolai Gumilevi finally culminated in marriage. During this time Anna had already written about 200 poems, some of which were selected for publication in her first book in 1912. The book, which was entitiled "Evening," brought her public recognition as well as critical praise. In 1914, Akmatova's second book, entitled "Rosary," was published. These first two compilations primarily contained romantic poems. When reading these poems, you can see Akhmatova's distinguished use of dramatic style and heartfelt emotional expression.

First edition: an early study of Akhmatova's poetry, published during the years of her enforced silence. Viktor Vinogradov (1895-1969) was professor of Russian at Moscow University and a leading scholar in the history of Russian literary language and style. 'In the late twenties Vinogradov participated in formulating the "formal" method in the study of literature, but he soon departed from this approach by emphasizing the role of social and cultural contexts of literary works and the individuality of their authors. His method is best exemplified in the studies of such outstanding authors as Pushkin, Gogol, Dostoevsky, Avvakum, and Akhmatova' (Victor Terras).
