Maxim Amelin on Lyrikline!

If you like poetry, you will love Lyrikline. This German site collects translations of individual poems into multiple languages, along with audio of the original authors reading their work. Maxim Amelin has ten poems there as of today, each translated into several languages. The English translations are by Derek and I (although you probably could’ve guessed that), and the German translations are by Alexander Nitzberg, who won the Read Russia prize in 2014 for his new Meister und Margarita.

Some of my favorite Amelin poems are featured here. Lovely!
