A genius of Russian poetry * Sunday Times *
Once, when young, she had written the lines which lovers quoted to one another. Later she provided words which thousands of men and women repeated under their breath, as they suffered, feared and waited. * Observer *
The greatest Russian poetess of the twentieth century -- Joseph Brodsky
Her fortitude and independence, the breadth of her compassion and the clarity of her realistic vision erased the line between herself and others; her intensely personal lyrics became the void of her nation's tragedy * New York Times Book Review *
