Andrei Voznesenskii.
Papers.
Acquired in part through the Kenyon Law Starling Fund.
This collection documents the work of one of post-Stalinist Russia's foremost poets. Voznesenskii is the author of approximately forty volumes of poetry in Russian, two collections of fiction, at least three plays, and two operas. A five-volume set of his collected works appeared in 2000. A number of his collections have been translated into English, including Antiworlds (1966), translated by W. H. Auden and others. Voznesenskii has also created many works of visual art in graphic and sculptural form. In addition, he is known for his "visual poetry." Five of the total twenty-nine linear feet in the collection comprise manuscripts of his works. Also included are some six hundred pages of drawings and sketches, over one thousand photographs, numerous letters to him and his wife from prominent Russian and Western political figures, and documents o∂ering a broad picture of the main cultural and political events and changes he has lived through. Most of the material dates from the mid-1950s through 1990.
