Z by birthday from the calendar Credits and feedback Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) - pseudonym of Anna Andreyevna Gorenko One of the greatest Russian poets of the 20th-century, who became a legend in her own time as a poet and symbol of artistic integrity. Akhmatova's work is characterized by precision, clarity, and economy. She wrote with apparent simplicity and naturalness and her rhyming was classical compared to such radical contemporary writers as Marina Tsvetaeva and Vladimir Mayakovsky. "Our sacred craft has existed For thousands of years... With it, luminous even in darkness is earth. But no poet has ever insisted, Through laughter or tears, That there is no wisdom, no age, no death." Anna Akhmatova was born Anna Gorenko in Bolshoy Fontan, near Odessa, Ukraine, as the daughter of a naval engineer. She began writing poetry at the age of 11, and adopted a pseudonym to allay her father's fears that as a"decadent poetress" she would dishonour the family. The pseudonym was the Tatar name of Akhmatova's great-grandmother. When she was sixteen, her father abandoned his family. Akhmatova attended a girls' gymnasium in Tsarskoe Selo and the famous Smolnyi Institute in St. Petersburg. She continued her studies in Kiev in Fundukleevskaia gymnasium (1906) and in a law school (1907) before moving to St. Petersburg to study literature. Among her teachers were the poet, dramatist and essayist Innokenty Annensky (1856-1909), who influenced her deeply. Between the years 1910 and 1912 she visited Paris, where she met the painter Amedeo Modigliani, and northern Italy. At the age of 21 she became a member of the

A COLLECTION OF POEMS BY A NNA A KHMATOVA (Born 1889, Died 1966) (Translations from Russian) Anna Akhmatova is the literary pseudonym of Anna Andreevna Gorenko. Her first husband was Gumilev, and she too became one of the leading Acmeist poets. Her second book of poems, Beads (1914), brought her fame. Her earlier manner, intimate and colloquial, gradually gave way to a more classical severity, apparent in her volumes The Whte Flock (1917) and Anno Domini MCMXXI (1922). The growing distaste which the personal and religious elements in her poetry aroused in Soviet officialdom forced her thereafter into long periiods of silence; and the poetic masterpieces of her later years, A Poem without a Hero and Requiem, were published abroad.

ANNA AKHMATOVA The poet Anna Akhmatova was born Anna Gorenko in Odessa, in the Ukraine, in 1889; she later changed her name to Akhmtova. In 1910 she married the important Russian poet and theorist Nikolai Gumilyov. Shortly afterwards Akhmatova began publishing her own poetry; together with Gumilyov, she became a central figure in the Acmeist movement. Acmeism which had its parallels in the writings of T. E. Hulme in England and the development of Imagism stressed clarity and craft as antidotes to the overly loose style and vague language of late nineteenth century poetry in Russia. The Russian Revolution was to dramatically affect their lives. Although they had recently divorced, Akhmatova was was nevertheless stunned by the execution of her friend and former partner Gumilyev in 1921 by the Bolsheviks, who claimed that he had betrayed the Revolution. In large measure to drive her into silence, their son Lev Gumilyov was imprisoned in 1938, and he remained in prison and prison camps until the death of Stalin and the thaw in the Cold War made his release possible in 1956. Meanwhile, Akhmatova had a second marraige and then a third; her third husband, Nikolai Punin, was imprisoned in 1949 and thereafter died in 1953 in a Siberian prison camp. Her writing was banned, unofficially, from 1925 to 1940, and then was banned again after World War Two was concluded. Unlike many of her literary contemporaries, though, she never considered flight into exile. The poet was awarded and honorary doctorate by Oxford University in 1965. Akhmatova died in 1966 in Leningrad.

12. Anna Akhmatova Anna Akhmatova (18891966). DEPARTURE Although this land is not myown, I will remember its inland sea and the waters that are so http://cmgm.stanford.edu/~ahmad/akhmatova.html

Anna Akhmatova (1889-1966) DEPARTURE Although this land is not my own, I will remember its inland sea and the waters that are so cold the sand as white as old bones, the pine trees strangely red where the sun comes down. I cannot say if it is our love, or the day, that is ending. (translated by Michael Cuanach) YOU WILL HEAR THUNDER You will hear thunder and remember me, And think: she wanted storms. The rim Of the sky will be the colour of hard crimson, And your heart, as it was then, will be on fire. That day in Moscow, it will all come true, when, for the last time, I take my leave, And hasten to the heights that I have longed for, Leaving my shadow still to be with you. (translated by D. M. Thomas) I DON'T KNOW IF YOU'RE ALIVE OR DEAD I don't know if you're alive or dead. Can you on earth be sought, Or only when the sunsets fade Be mourned serenely in my thought? All is for you: the daily prayer, The sleepless heat at night, And of my verses, the white Flock, and of my eyes, the blue fire. No-one was more cherished, no-one tortured Me more, not Even the one who betrayed me to torture, Not even the one who caressed me and forgot. (translated by D. M. Thomas)

13. Anna Akhmatova Biography of the poet. http://www.odessit.com/namegal/english/ahmatova.htm

Akhmatova, Anna, pseudonym of ANNA ANDREYEVNA GORENKO (b. June 11 [June 23, New Style], 1889, Bolshoy Fontan, near Odessa, Ukraine, Russian Empired. March 5, 1966, Domodedovo, near Moscow), Russian poet recognized at her death as the greatest woman poet in Russian literature. Akhmatova began writing verse at the age of 11 and at 21 became a member of the Acmeist group of poets, whose leader, Nikolay Gumilyov, she married in 1910 but divorced in 1918. The Acmeists, through their periodical Apollon ("Apollo"; 1909-17), rejected the esoteric vagueness and affectations of Symbolism and sought to replace them with "beautiful clarity," compactness, simplicity, and perfection of formall qualities in which Akhmatova excelled from the outset. Her first collections, Vecher (1912; "Evening") and Chyotki (1914; "Rosary"), especially the latter, brought her fame. While exemplifying the best kind of personal or even confessional poetry, they achieve a universal appeal deriving from their artistic and emotional integrity. Akhmatova's principal motif is love, mainly frustrated and tragic love, expressed with an intensely feminine accent and inflection entirely her own. In August 1946, however, she was harshly denounced by the Central Committee of the Communist Party for her "eroticism, mysticism, and political indifference." Her poetry was castigated as "alien to the Soviet people," and she was again described as a "harlot-nun," this time by none other than Andrey Zhdanov, Politburo member and the director of Stalin's program of cultural restriction. She was expelled from the Union of Soviet Writers; an unreleased book of her poems, already in print, was destroyed; and none of her work appeared in print for three years.

Olga's Gallery Anna Akhmatova Akhmatova, Anna, pseudonym of Anna Andreevna Gorenko (1889-1966) Russian poetess, born in Odessa into the family of a naval officer. She started to write very early to ultimate horror of her parents; her father told her not to shame the family name by becoming a “decadent poetess”. She chose the name of her great-grandmother as a literary pseudonym not to embarrass the family. For some time she studied at law school in Kiev. In 1910, she married Nicolai Gumilev (1886-1921), himself a poet and critic, who at first considerably influenced her style. They spent the spring of 1910, their honeymoon, in Paris, where Anna met the Italian artist Amedeo Modigliani (1884-1920) and fell in love with him. Summer of 1911 she spent with Modigliani in Paris. Under the influence of this love affair she wrote many lyrical poems, many of which formed up her first book, Evening The same year that her first book was published, 1912, her son Lev Gumilev (1912-92) was born. He would become an outstanding historian, geographer, and philosopher. But meanwhile his father put the child under supervision of his own mother, who disliked Anna. Akhmatova tried to protest the situation, but Nicolai supported his family; Anna visited her son during holidays and summer. She wrote that she ‘was a bad mother’, that “motherhood is a bright torture. I was not worthy of it.” The book Evening made Akhmatova a very popular poetess, and her second book
